YALL WAS DOING GOOD, TIL YALL HATED ON PAC N LIL WAYNE. WAYNE IS THE MOST RELEVANT N PREVALENT ARTIST N THE GAME 2DAY, N PAC WILL ALWAYS EQUATE THAT DEATH R ALIVE. ALL RAP MUSIC IS REPETITIOUS. ITS ALL BOUT INNOVATED WORD PLAY. BIG POPPA SHOULD HAVE MADE THE CUT. NEXT TIME HATE BETTER THAN THAT. OPINIONS LIKE ASSHOLES EVERYBODY GET 1, ITS JUST YALL ASS STINK

Who made this list, ok soulja boy but he’s like 18 or 19 whoever made this list has to know 50 cents cause he aint on here and all his albums since good rich or die trying be garbage. But he got Wayne and pac on here dumb ass wayne just one a grammy over two of the people you dont have on the list whoever made this list needs to be fired

The last was good up until you got to Tupac. He might not have had the best flow but no other artist talked about the wide range of subject matter like he did.

WHO EVER PUT PAC ON THE LIST SHOULD BE FIRED!!!!!!!

lil wayne is garbage open ur eyes

why is Pac on this List whoever wrote this must be an idiot Yall had a few good ones thats about it. If you gonna put pac on this list u might as well put BIG, Jigga, Nas Dude next time you write a list get it right, and, Ya list is Missing DiDi, Vanilla ICe 50 Cent is wack now as well doing stunts to sell records

uhm on the tupac thing! yes wtf ! of course he would be the s**t!!

LMAO whoever put pac on this list should really be fired and be beaten outside, Nelly is not overrated no one cares LMAO

Tupac is on a list with Soulja Boy? WTF? That’s irresponsible journalism. If he had lived, I think he’d still be one of the greatest.

kevin clark r who ever made this top ten list is wack. once again these east coast critics think they know it all when it comes to rap. to put lil wayne and pac on there is ludacris. they should have top ten wackest articles black planet allowed to be put up . are top ten dummies idiots to have sumthin to say.kevin clark please loose ur day job

Whoever made this list must be 12 years old cause that 2Pac thing is crazy…..He was one of the greatest.

Who…. What…. the hell is wrong with you? Y is Pac even on this list? If he had lived, would he be as great as he was….. Hell YEAH… to even say that Pac was overrated is Disrespectful! I can name alot more rappers that u missed! 50, loyd Banks, Yayo,

Ok, I had to read the headline like three times… They trippin’ lil wayne & tupac, are you serious?

the best was 2-pac but of who iz livein it is Plies

The title is No Flow! Wayne got a flow rretards, who does he sound like but him, maybe Gillie. But if thats the case then he got Gillie’s flow. Who made this? Some of it was true, I wont even talk about Pac. Slap ya self. But you missed niggas like Game who cant carry a beat and chamillionaire, people who let the beat carry them. Let me be a writer, promise I’d do a better job.- Chiily

Pac??? Common now…I have to support my peeps…Fat Joe…He is good I will not lie and say he’s one of the best as far as the Hispanics he is!!! Still Pac??? Can’t believe that!!! He made the rest of the wanna bes!!! Learn stats dude before you blog fool!

i don’t even listen to rap like that and i know that lil wayne is not on the same level as wack ass soulja boy. so umm again black planet has allowed some lame ass fool to put a list of some dumb ass s**t on here.

whateveron 2 of those

i wana see who eva wrote dis damn article battle one dis rappers, crap ass would lose. BYE HATER!

Mr. Kevin L Clark or whoever put Tupac on this list needs to explain themselves. Please comment further. What is your definition of an MC?

I couldn’t agree more at long last a mind that understands what a true rapper is.

who the f**k made this list tupac was the best rapper every and jim jones talks about getting this money and being swagged out and rick ross can rap what the you guys be listen too and then u say wayne cant rap yall all hating and for the rest of them like fat joe,bow wow ,piles they all f**k niggas i dont even know who would buy there cds

I think Wayne should be on this list forreal, because he hasn’t put out a good album since Get Off Tha Corner. His verses are not as hot anymore. A 5 year old can put together words that rhyme and have no relevance to anything previously stated. A real MC spits lines that give you the “damn that’s hot” reaction and at the same time can still tell you what the hell he’s talking about. I think that coke, x, and money is getting to the young man’s brain and it’s sad, cause he used to be one of my favorites.

I must agree !!

How do u manage to end the list with Tupac let alone have him on the list. He isnt overrated the game of hip hop changes over time with each generation so to say pac was overrated or would be if he was still alive is nonsense you might as well say BIG,Jay,Em,Rakim, Kurtis Blow,Snoop, UGK, Scarface, anybody else u can think of that ppl say was or is still great would fit in your category

WTF……….TUPAC IS OVERRATED?? A COUNTRY WESTERN FAN WROTE THIS ARTICLE!!!!!!!! I GUESS THAT MEANS SILK THE SHOCKER IS IN TOP TEN MCs OF ALL TIME!?

and another thing kevin. have u lived the thug life.have u sold dope.have u been a pimp.have u ever rapped. can you go platinum. this industry needs people like yaself. you and your kind (haters) are needed in everyday life. keep hatin are workin as you call it, i cant wait to read ya next article.i bet your uncle are dad works for black planet.an ohio journalist talkin about top ten. aint there a buckeye game on.

PAC WAS ONE OF THE BEST THAT EVER DONE IT… WANYE IS, SORRY TO SAY THIS BUT, THE HOTTEST OUT… THE REST HAVE NO LYRICAL SKILL AND ALL LIVE A RENTED LIFE. RENTED CARS RENTED WOMEN , RENTED HOUSES, RENTED DREAMS

Saying someone’s rap is overrated is ignorant to me. Isn’t rap like poetry? You can’t tell someone how to express themselves and their art. There’s not blueprint to rap.

Tupac may not have a grammy, but he is the only rap art-est to have a number 1 billboard top song while in prison and was well on his way to earning multiple grammys. And also has produced multiple number 1 albums AFTER dying

This was stupid. Im not say i agree or disagree wit the list, but an artist can only be overrated if they’re highly admired or reffered to as good. Who do you know that claims any of these artist to be good? Besides Wayne, Pac, and Asher Roth(Asher underrated in my opinion)

its painfully obvious who ever made this s**t don’tlisten to rap .rap/hiphop culture is all about making something out of nothing so if solja boy is bouncin around screaming YOULL and successful or wayne kissin dude and sweeping the grammys you just hatein time for change obama muthafuka

I can’t believe you all put 2pac in this s**t with them whack ass rappers I give Joey Crack his props for being in the game for so long but thats where it stops the rest of them whack ass rappers are WEAK!! I mean Im so damn tired of hearing Weezy F trying to sing and streching words to make them rhyme with other words And that Fat f**ker Rick Ross yea Right be for real nothing these whack ass rappers say is worth listening to I mean when did we leave real Hip Hop and got back on selling a million Kilos and killing niggas at will and f**king bad chicks at any giving time(rick ross prolly can’t even see his dick but now he a Heart throbe him and weezy Yea F**king rite)Long live J,COMMON,K WEST,SCARFACE,TI,NAS,WYCLEF REAL HIP HOP

You’ve got to be out of your mind to put 2pac in that catorgy. He was on a whole other level. Quit hating clown.

And he dreams of marrying Lauren London…Lol. Idiot. 2-Pac, Plies…Overated?? Man just kill yaself.

I cannot believe you put Tupac on this list! You must be about 16yrs old and never got to see the pure domination this man put on display! If he was still alive he would still be ruling the game with an iron fist engraved with THUG LIFE!! Where he set himself apart from all other rappers is in the fact that the man had ABSOLUTLEY NO LIMITS! It didn’t matter if he was asking a girl, “How do you want it,” of if he was writting a letter to his unborn child. He had platinum single for every mood us as black men could ever be in. No one else can make that claim. All of the other MC’s have only three subjects or less that they can do damage with. There’s an old saying, “Imitation is the highest form of flattery.” Well no other rapper has ever been more imitated by his under-studies, and peers than Mr. Shakur. Much as is the case with Muhammed Ali, many have tried and failed in comparison for there is but one G.O.A.T., only one man that transcends generations, coasts, and regions. Many of the self-proclaimed “greatest alive” have the skills the to move a crowd. But only Tupac WAS AN ENTIRE MOVEMENT UNTO HIMSELF. And even though you seem to be skeptical of his legacy, you know deep in your heart that the game will never be the same without Tupac Shakur. And I’ll challenge anyone, anytime who wants to argue differently…..
-GOD BLESS

You can’t be serious. Putting Tupac on this list is like putting Soulja Boy in the top 10 MC’s of all time. It don’t fit. ‘Pac may not have been the greatest lyricist, but he was better than average with mean delivery. I don’t like Lil Wayne too much, but let it be known, the kid got skills. He shouldn’t be here either. “Weezy” F. Baby has made a steady progression every album, sharpening his skills each time and expanding on the subject matter. The other 8-well…………

I agree with most of the list, but Pac’s voice had so much presence on it. When that guy rapped, you felt what he was saying, and it was believeable. He might not of been the greatest lyricist, but he was just special.

Yea this guy is a dumb asS…How dare you put PAC on that list you must be the biggest East Coast dick rider there is..If anything put 50 cent up Nas up there not to mention every other NY rapper out now.Now you got Lil Wayne up there ….Can I have whatever it is you smoke or drink or pop or shoot up please??

As a matter of fact since you from OHIO go ahead and put bone thugs n harmony on that list to…

you should be beat with a pillow case full of bars of soap for putting tupac on this list. you didnt put 50 cent or kanye on the list. kanye losing his mind along wit lil wayne. Im bout real hip hop. not this singing on auto tuned b.s. yall like.

freaky soldier is wack. you look like a lil wayne dick rider. you prolly 4’11 like him and rap bout nothing like him too. grow up and listen to real hip hop. you prolly dont even kno who public enemy is. nigga said nas lol. u funny mark ass

i dont understand why pac is on this list and yeah joey crack does doe songs with other artists to keep his rotation hot and all but the rest of the dudes is garbage i hate the rap game nowadays i cant even recall the last time that i bought an album that was worth it nowadays and to put pac on here is stupid as hell pac was a lyricist and could spit with lyrical content, all i gotta say is what ever happened to the rakimks, tribe callec quest, wu tang, big l, big pun, redman, keth murry, the ol mobb deep, s**t like that

i agree with every1 except 2pac u r trippin!!!!!!!! dont ever say dat again u idiot!!!

YO B WHOEVER MADE THIS LIST SHOULD OF GO KILL YOURSELF SON TUPAC WAS THE BIGGEST RAPPER EVER TOUCHED THE MIC NO ONE ELSE IN A THOUSAND YEARS CAN DO THE S**T PAC DID NAS TRIED BUT IT WASN’T EVEN ENOUGH JAY TRIED BUT NOPE NOW SOME WHACK ASS MAN KISSING ASS LIL WAYNE BUT NOPE MAN THAT’S A DAMN SHAME YO THAT’S A SLAP LUDACRIS EMINEM TUPAC NAS ARE LIKE NATURAL BORN LYRICIST TO ME EMINEM MIGHT BE SLIGHTLY OFF THE LIST

I agree with some and disagree with some…….

PLIES KNOWS THAT HE ISN’T A LYRICIST BUT THA DUDE GETS HIS HYPE CUZ HE STAYS IN HIS ON LANE….HE HAS A FORMULA THAT IS CLEARLY WORKING FOR HIM

dude u are clearly hatin on Pac, The rest of them cats u were rite about especially soulja boy and bow wow.lol

UM MM BY THE WAY FOR SOME OF YOU IDIOTS WHO DON’T KNOW TUPAC IS FROM NEW YORK

THIS LIST IS WACK JUST FOR HAVING TUPAC ON HERE

Bump! Bump!! Bump!!! Smh…..AWahhhhhh…….Chat Foolish uh!!! Sense No Make You!!!!

Duece!!!!!!!!

Ambitions of a Yea.. U figure it out……

I’ve always said Lil Wayne wasn’t crap. Can hardly understand what he says most of the time. But you straight tripping putting Pac on the list, he was a true Lyricist.

I hate these lists that these writers come up with. I only read them to see how wrong they are. Lets make a list of the most overrated writers. These writers actually get paid for making lists that anyone can make up, and this particular writer came all the way from Ohio to NYC to do sh*t like this. I give him props for fooling the BP execs into thinking he’s worth a featured article.

I’ve always said Lil Wayne was crap. Can hardly understand what he says most of the time. But you straight tripping putting Pac on the list, he was a true Lyricist.

IM GLAD PEOPLE REALIZE LIL WAYNE CANT RAP BUT U FELL N BUST UR HEAD WEN U PUT PAC ON DAT LIST N FOR THE PERSON WHO SAID NAS SHOULD B ON THE LIST IZ SMOKIN DOPE!!

Yo, the Pac reference terrible! But that Damn Plies & Rick Wanna-be Ross, They hit the nail on the head!! TRASH. BASURA

I emphatically disagree with pac on the list. All I can say is pac’s weakest verse is better than 90% of these rappers today. But its all an opinion…

i cant stand these dudes nowa days i wouldnt even waist limewire on this bull pac dont belong on that list he rapped about certain s**t but all his music was up lifting rappers dnt do such things thats what makes only a few true MC’S in the game

whoever made the list need to go an jump off a 5 million feet cliff..absolute dick head

OK…I agree with most of the list…Soulja Boy, Jones, Bow Wow, Ross, etc…no problem. 2Pac though? It may be more about his presence than his lyrics for me, even though he could spit fire at times. Can’t see how he made it onto the list, but aye…it’s not my list…LOL. I agree completely with the addition of Wayne, because dude’s right….dude just whines through that voicebox that T-Pain re-popularized, and says his name & words that rhyme with it constantly…kinda like Mike Jones, just a few pounds lighter. Plies…yeah, son’s OVERRATED…females & cats from Florida may not admit it, but it’s a fact….Dude made The Real Testament…and it went hard…but Definition of Real & Da REAList sound like the exact same album, just packaged differently….Anytime one of them cats gets mentioned as best rapper alive, or somethin’ to that effect, it’s like….Do you fools listen to music, or just skim through it?

if you think tupac is overrated you obviously have smoked yourself retarted, and i feel sorry for you

I agreed until the last one, you put Tupac in there, you gots to be nuts. U need to replace him with Master P or hell if you needed a West Coast Rapper put Snoop in.

take pac off n put 50 cent on this danm list

I have to disagree about Tupac and Wayne. Both of their flows are sick. Real fans of the two understand exactly what i’m talking about. Wayne has reached new peaks in these past few years. He has really perfected his craft. He’s found his niche and he’s killing it. But Plies……..yezzir Definately overrated. I thought i was the only one who noticed that.

have y lost ur mind tupac was 1 of the greatest….. the rest of those clowns defintely belong on the list

I totaly disagree with this list. O now Jim Jones i agree needs to be on this list and him being number one on this list fits. Now Plies and Wayne being on this list is jus wrong whoever created this list is just a certifiable HATER1 Im not even gonna speak bout Pac being on their kuz i dont want to use explicit language to describe how stupid whoever created this list is for adding Pac to this list. He was great then and wuld be better if he was still here with us.

wat da f**k u was tweekinon putn pac but u got da otha list bout rite patna

What the HELL is Tupac doing on this list?

Pac? Just unplug your computer already & off your on switch for that.

What kind of statement is “would he be as great as he was, if he lived?” So basically anyone with any kind of influence in any community should play the part of a martyr in order to be great?

WHO IS THIS LAME SICKO WHO PUT TUPAC AS AN OVERATED RAPPER?? WHOEVER YOU ARE, GO BACK TO LISTENING TO THE JONAS BROTHERS AND ELVIS PRESLEY

For all of ya’ll who DON’T think 2pac is over rated…
Spit 16 bars of any of his songs. right Now Dont look them up just try top remember something other than the hook on any of his songs. I bet I get at least 15 california Love refrains!
The Notorius B.I.G. is still relevent. People (Jay-Z) are still spitting his lyrics. they will take a line and make it into a hook! Can you do that to Tupac. I Liked Tupac. but Quantity does not equate to quality.
By the way… I know ALL the words to “Warning”.

Tupac , You must be losing your *%32 mind . He was ahead of his time & greatly misunderstood . Kenya & Jay -Z are just riding his coat tales & they learned from his mistakes .

WTF???!!!! Tupac?????Its waayyy plenty of other MF’s that can replace 2pac QUICK!

yall must be out ya damn mind puttin 2pac on the list 2pac is one of the greatset rappers that ever lived and if he was still here he put the other nine rappers into shame

I Def agree with putting Kanye West on there personally he is a great producer but rapper NO. people really need to stop rockin to everythng u see on tv.Wayne also deserve to be there the Carter was a good albumn ,but let be real he feel he can say anythng on a beat and it suppose to be fire and everybodi in there world rock to it like it make sense are there any individuals out here that dnt like wat the next man does.the rest of the rapper are very overatted Not including Tupac u cnt really put him the categories with rapper that are in the game thru association.Tupac is lyrical content.

wow looks like someone wants alot of views on their website. Someone is looking to get lynched by putting pac in the same category as plies… must be high off something!

Who the hell made this list? TuPac and Wayne? Get real.

Who ever got this half right with solija boy, that white cat, jim jones, fat joe, and bow wow, but everything he was way off.I think he needs to go back and listen to his music instead of skimming through it.

u must be crazy puttin pac on this list. he’s still tha best !!!

Great job on everyone but pac.

ya’ll crazy 4 puttin pac and weezy on dat list. they 2 of tha best. and ya’ll know dat if a soulja boy song come on at a party ya’ll gone be on the floor jukin’,cuz his beats is hellie hard. dat list sux. 4realz
♥crystal

Lil Wayne DOES NOT have anything close to a classic Hip Hop album. How can you claim to be the best rapper alive when he ducked and dodged 50 when he dissed him back in 2007. It took him over a year to respond and even when he did he claimed it was “old”.

lil wayne = a rapper with de lyrical skills of a 6yr old. utter crap

Please remove pac of the list
If is the biggest key word he’s not here so how can you say what he would do

R u crazy Tupac Lil Wanye Plies have some of the best lyrical contents in the game.

whoever put Pac and Weezy on this list must be on crack and don’t know anything about music. Next time, get sum people that KNOW what they are talking about. A MIND IS A TERRIBLE THING TO WASTE

Yall MothaF**ka Crazy Cuz pac Was The Best EVER!!!!

S**T WHY AINT JAY-Z ON THIS LIST. HES THE MOST OVERRATED RAPPER OF ALL TIME

Art is what you make it,every one has their own opinion about what is hot and what is not. Instead of putting labels on other people we need to check our own selves first because we are human and humans have faults!

Yall lost your damn minds puttin 2pac on this list. And NO ONE knows how great he would have been had he lived; so to speculate is impossible. He was about quality AND quantity, that’s only a piece of what made him great, and if you can’t hear what he was talkin bout then YO @SS ISN’T LISTENING. Do yo damn research on that man and the words he wrote, the life he lived and the education he had IN DEPTH before you pop off includin him on some garbage list with Jim Jones & Nelly. And to BlaQue-eye, I can recite more than a few of 2pac songs all the way through, none of those being the ones on the radio, and I’m not the only one who can. And this was never about quantity, he wasn’t known for turnin out club hits; he was known for his strong opinions in his lyrics and the quantity of those. To the willingly shallow and ignorant MF’s that wrote this list, get off MTV/BET’s nuts and pay more attention to the subconscious of an artist’s craft. If I could downgrade my character enough to be media-pleasin w***e like yall, I’d love to get paid to write bull$hit like this all day. Must be nice.

Y’all are completely and utterly RETARDED having Tupac anywhere near this list. The man’s been dead for almost 15 years and still drops albums better than today’s unbelievably weak set of rappers. I believe y’all put Pac on here to generate attention.

This list jus blew my mind.
Obviously someone was not thinking right when this was constructed

Jay z and Pac are over rated!!

wow this list was up to speed until you put wayne and 2pac up there. plies shoulda been number one with his cakey ass.

say somethin else bot pac and watch me slap da sh*t out cha

All but two derserve to be on this list, Tupac and Fat Joe are real MCs.

I NORMALLY DON’T RESPONE TO THESE THINGS,BUT YOU GUYS HAVE ONE THE THE BEST RAPPERS EVER ON THIS LIST,AND THE FACT THAT YALL HAVE PAC ON HERE LETS ME KNOW THAT YOU MUTHA FUKAS ARE CRAZY

I never comment on these articles, but f**k. How in the hell can your dumb as say that TUPAC would not be a great rapper, if he was alive. Are u f**king stupid or what. Get it, LExtown, ky baby!

Does anyone on the staff even read these comments?? The more articles I read the more I see how biased & full of $hit they are. I’M SURE WHOEVER WROTE THIS IS NO WHERE NEAR AN MC OR ANY KINDA QUALIFIED TO MAKE THIS KINDA JUDGEMENT. Urban Daily, you’re fired.

Your comment on 3/4 of that list is absolutely true and correct. But come on man to put a prophet like Tupac in the same category as a soon called goon, and cats who make snap and pop rap, come on man. If that’s the case then Biggie isn’t as relevant as most of you east coast head s think he is now is he–because unless you all forgot HE’S DEAD TOO, IDIOTS!!

Lil Wayne is a lil overated because wit the exception of the carter 3 and 1 the rest of the albums was not all that hot like u couldn’t go from one song to the next song but thats like all the rappers today because you have to skip track after track. They are a lot of good albums but a shortage of great albums like the carter 3, get rich or die by 50 trying, the blueprint by jay intuition by jamie foxx, all of eminems albums except for the last one he came out wit.

2 pac should be the last one on this list. I feel many of these young rappers wouldn’t even be in the secene if he was still alive. I go back and forth on lil wayne. Loved him w. the hot boys, and the new image took me a min to like…

How the hell Pac on this list?Those are fight words!there are haters in the world! Pac is better then alot of these weakass artist today! Some of the music that are putting out is staight trash!!

Wow how the f**k do you have 2pac and fat joe on this list. But then again s**t like this is always made by muthaf**kas who aren’t musically gifted.

This list is somewhat like the bullshyt list I think Blender did that was just str8 up fictional. Nelly had many hits & has been platinum more times than any of the critics who write hot garbage like this, Wayne was the ONLY artist to got platinum in a week, & as far as Tupac…he was on another level with lyrics cuz u could actually FEEL his lyrics. But hey a small mind never could get the picture – punk azz critics

WOOOOOOW!!! how in the f**k yall gonna even conjure up the thought to put tupac on this damn list?! yall done lost your damn minds!!that man is the General! i mean if yall was gonna put him on there yall shouldve put biggie on there to…i agreed with the list until weezy and pac on…WTF! WHOEVER CAME UP WITH THIS MUST’VE BEEN HIGH….This has left me completely and utterly baffeled…im just confused…

pac is s not over rated. biggie was. i don’t think that ready to die would have sold as much if he was still around in my opinion. pac was almost like a radical and he had followers, not to say that biggie didn’t but when you listened to pac, he would make you mad because he getting to the heart of a lot of stuff goin on out there. lil wayne, yeah he’s wayyyyy overrated! there are underground cats that will eat him alive then spit out the bones! he’s hot then he not! one minute I’m like, that was dope wayne then the next I’m like, WTH is he talking about!? everybody else on there just goes to show if you know how to market yourself, even wack rappers can make money! but some just don’t last! just look at D4L and NIMS! weak as hell! this is why I suck, this is why I suck! I suck cause I’m whack, I’m whack cause I suck, this is why..this is why… none of you will last! haha! nuff said and I’m out!

2 pac is only as big as he is because he died i mean how many of his albums have you even listened to since then and lil wayne lol he disrespects real rappers by sayin he’s the best

thas SO dirty…tupac is not in the same category as any of these “rappers”

I FEEL LIKE BOW WOW ,2PAC AND LIL WAYNE ARE UNDERRATED,NOT OVERRATED.THESE KATS CAN RAP OFF THE TOP OF THEIR BRAINS SO HOW IN THE HELL COULD THEY BE OVERRATED.SOULJA BOY SHOULD BE NUMBER ONE ON THIS LIST.

What idiot wrote this? Tupac was great before he died you lame. Whoever wrote this should be fired. Lil Wayne albums speak for themselves when they go platinum and double. He making history. If you close to this dude that wrote this please slap the s**t out of him.

I think Pac shouldn be on here… you gotta look @ the time setting and where He was in his career before he “died”. I agree wit erybody else on the list tho-

This Personal Opinion is based on WHAT ?
Pac was creative, Passionate & original.
Watch your mouth before you Ever again lump him in the same category wit Souja Boy or Plies, and Officer Ricky.

I was rushing and made when I read your article. Still, TUPAC is the best, died or alive. So get your f**king facts staight. Get it right, Lextown, ky Baby!

aint got no prob with the list, except pac shouldnt be on it. wayne as much as i dont care for him, the mofo can rap his ass off. Although i prefer the hot boy and carter 1 wayne then the coked up screwed up wayne we see today. someone that should be up there tho shawty lo…lmao “just let the moon shine dawg, just let the moon shine.”

These Blackplanet articles are so lame, they always put controversial topics to get everyone angry and talking about it and get more hits on their site and make dough. I agree on a lot of them, but the last one with 2pac is just plain funny. I think the person writing the article probably was just a baby when the 2pac died, cuz i remember tupac being huge in the early 90s and the top rapper in the game the last 2-3 years of his career. He was already big before he died and if he didnt die would he be so big? Yes. Songs like Dear Mama and Brenda’s Got a Baby, were songs that were much different than everything rappers were doing back then. Sending a message with a sensitive side. Trying to preach about early pregnancies and paying tribute to your mama, if thats not creativity or skills then i guess all rappers are overhyped. Heck just come out and bury the rap game and not shine a lil light on one of the only bright parts of rap.

I guess next is an article about Martin Luther King Jr., Muhammed Ali, Jackie Robinson, Ghandi and how all of them were over rated.

I STILL LIKE ROSS F**KERS F**K 50 CENT!!!! AND PAC SHOULD BE UP THERE. HE DONT COME CLOSE TO BIGGIE B***H

I dont agree that Wayne & Pac should be on that list!

I understand everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but whoever made this list is nothing less than a f**king idiot. I admit some of those cats need to be on there. i.e. Fat Joe, Bow Wow, Plies. But how the hell do you put Pac on there? I think people give Pac a little more credit than he deserved, but he certainly is not the one of the 10 most overrated rappers to EVER rap. I think the writer just wanted to make a controversy. Lil Wayne was wack when he was younger, but the now the young brother got flow…crazy flow. Rick Ross may have not won Grammys and s**t, but he says some clever s**t sometimes. If we’re gonna put people on lists…put LL Cook Js ass on there…he’s a legend, but nowadays he’s just terrible. Put 50 on there…now he’s just living off his name. How the f**k you gonna put Tupac on the list, but not some trash like Juelz Santana or Shawty Lo. They make hot music, but let’s face it….their skills are nil…get yall s**t together.

Whoever made that list should be fired. How do u include pac with the rest of them. He was way ahead of his time and sometimes lil wayne come wit some silly stuff but most of the time he comes right and not to mention there is way more people out there worse than that

NO THEY DID NOT JUST PUT TUPAC ON THERE!!!!! THAT WAS SOOO DISRESPECTFUL!

The problem I have with this list is that someone out there has rated these indivduals on awards,popularity or just for the sake of having someone post a response.I am sad to see that the Urban Daily use this forum to see how many hits it can get from people disagreeing with it. Just as easy as placing this they could have took a poll before doing this post (guess it would have been work which they lacked on doing). So this will not be a hit on anyone on this list but the person or persons who created it which was done in poor taste.Look at where rap\hip hop has came from Curtis Blow to Lil Wayne. Rap was not made for any one person.How can you rate someone on their art its not made to please the masses but the ones who like them. I cant stand to hear that voice of Tpain but folks like him I dont listen to him however that does not makes him no better then Akon in who I do like .For all us real folks that enjoy music and the ones that make it for us someone have to have an opinion. Sad that the Urban Daily did this they must not have enough urban folks on there staff.

This is a pretty bad list. I wonder if the person that wrote the list even listens to anything besides the radio songs. Umm…Rick Ross goes hard, umm…lil wayne is loved for his freestyles, and umm…mentioning Tupac up here just disqualifies anything else you have to say on here, cause its such a ridiculous statement.

I lost all respect for that list the moment Tupac’s name appeared on it. What a pile of stinking, steamy, monkey crap.

You saved the BEST rapper for last! You knew you was f**king up when you put him in this bulls**t anyway! Change your diaper son!

whoever the lame is that wrote that about Pac is a damn idiot!!!! He has been the s**t since “All around the world in the same song” by Digital Underground, he was before his time and still is the s**t after.. I guess he thinks Biggie was the greatest…. LAME ASS!!!

the list is alright but nelly can spit at times if u listeb to some of his old freestyles. lil wayne like he said hes on his own planet. theres noone else out there that can say the most off the wall ish and itll make sense and still be hot. and finally puttin pac on that list thats the straw that broke the camels back. how can u say that one of the men that completely changed the way hiphop sent messages to the people is overrated. if thats the case B.I.G. nas eminem hell even N.W.A. were all overated

ITS TOO OBVIOUS WHOEVER CAME UP WIT THIS LIST IS COMPLETELY OUT OF TOUCH, OUT OF THA GAME, AND NOT “OF THA CULTURE” ITS A FEW SLACK RAPPERS ON THAT LIST BUT TO PUT TUPAC ON THERE IS JUST DIRESPECTFUL. I MEAN WHAT THA F**K YOU TALKING BOUT, PAC WAS ONE ON THE GREATEST PERIOD, FAT JOE IS A VETERAN WHO IS RESPECTED BY MOSTLY ALL OF THE HIP HOP PIONEERS ,WAYNE IS LYRICAL, AND ORIGINAL.. AND PLIES GOT REAL MESSAGES IN ALOT OF HIS SONGS IF U LISTEN TO THA ALBUMS HATE IT OR LOVE IT….. BUT THAT NIGGA DOIN HIS THANG. ALL OF THESE ARTIST JUST NAMED IS MAKING HITS. AND THATS WAT ITS ABOUT. CAUSE IF U AINT MAKIN HITS WAT U PUTTIN OUT DONT MEAN S**T… THEN U GOT SOME LAME ASS DUDE ON THIS LIST NOBODY HAS EVER EVEN HEARD OF THAT AINT RELEVANT IN THE GAME.. YALL NEED TO STEP YALL GAME UP. WHOEVER WROTE THIS SHOULD BE FIRED IMMEDIATELY..

a point blank 2pac was the best to me he was and if he was hear now he whould run over the game alot of cat whould not be in this that sound like some haten ass s**t to me

this list is complete bull i mean i can respect peoples opinions but putting tupac on there who ever wrote this lost they damn mind

On a few they had a point,Soulja Boy…Plies…highly overrated.They both suck. Bow Wow…didn’t know anybody even cared. The writer lost all credability by mentioning Pac.

hahahaha at the last one man u gotta be f**king crazy to put 2pac as over hyped and no skill hahahahha 2 pac skills was so wicked and witty to a point that no one can duplicate his style thats how funny it is pac didnt give u the swag on the track that u lookin for and u can tell certianly u is a young whippersnapper in the game 2pac is the reason y alot of these ni99az is rappers today and not to mention u are right he was very influential wit his raps but most importantly if a man ain thave creativity and skill then how the f**k u consider ur self a thug he the reason y u probably say “thug life” he the reason y he made u feel proud to be from the westside he the reason y he made u believe it wasnt a jesus and there is hope fo a ghetto 2pac was influential because he sent messages that was trully educational which the normal mind will never understand and i guess u like conscious rappers or u givin credit due because of the less achievements i have to say 2pac might aint had a grammy but he damn sure had every white man wanna be a thug if u knew who ur father was he probably will punch u in ur face cuz i know ur father in jail or distant away from u cuz if he was in ur life he wouldnt even say no s**t what u sayin so fo u to put 2pac on here u gotta be f**kin crazier then 50 cent stalkin ni99az moms but i know this is all hype and im laughin it just to stir up s**t but lil wayne i have to disagree on that too because he dont make sense to u doesnt mean he doesnt make sense to others the point is ni99az like plies and them is sellin records because they not only rappin fo the people they rapper fo the lifestyle that us folks these aint nothin but biggie small wanna bee’s u seein and biggie did it best but u absolutely right none of these rappers u have except for wayne and pac have no good music i think 2 dis pac u got that man turnin in his grave over this article all i have to say is “hell mary” hahahahahahahah

“lord help me change my ways show a lil mercy on judgement day (it aint easy)father i was raise this way , I WILL NEVER LET THEM PLAY ME AS A BUSTER MAKIN IT HELL FOR A “HUSTLER”

slim if that aint enough skill and creativeness and wittyness then slim i think u need to change ur profession and thats real talk and i know others agree

They had some good ones up here, but just the simple fact that Pac was included (need no explanation if you agree with em bein placed on the list you blind n easily manipulated also) makes the whole list irrelevant! Thats like a politician who a feed you a truth to grab your attention til you thrown off n then add a whole host of lies inbetween n you left confused but still goin with the program. Dont subscribe to the bullsh*t!1

i agree with everyone else, tupac should NOT be on that list. people are still requesting his music on the radios.

r you fukin serious?! 2pac will always be the greatest. u stupid mutha fuka

and imma add on u motherf**ker writer that u are put it like this if 2pac and biggie never died it wouldnt have been a jayz because jayz’s reasonable doubt went no where and it went no where fast and the reason y it didnt go no where because it was “2pac and biggie” still in the game and scarface as well so slim fo u to go head and try to put these ni99az like t.i. jayz in a high calibur because now they got it “easy fo them to get in the rap game and win music awards” honestly u gotta give credit for lauryn hill because she open the gate way for ni99az like retarded ass “3 6 mafia” to win a “oscar” and those ni99az is a bunch of dopefiends on blow feel me now u got ni99az like eminem even tried to duplicate pac style and couldnt do it cuz pac was too wicked hahahahha i mean slim u gotta be f**kin crazy to even put this bulls**t up now the other 8 before wayne and pac u absolutely right them motherf**kers i careless about but fo u to say them 2 ni99az name lil wayne is an alien that motherf**ker is above pluto right now he aint the best rapper alive i agree buuuuuuut the dude is the hottest rapper on this planet and i put that on everything but see if u know ur history 2pac was livin at a time ahead of these rappers and honestly if pac was livin today pac woulda have more then just a simple grammy i think he woulda have rows of grammy’s because of his style and how he educated the public rap was still underground durin the early 90′s and rap wasnt still a house hold name for most folks out here rap aint break big til after lauryn hill won 5 grammy’s and thats when we gain more listenin ears so fo those like writers like u who dont know history in music it clearly shows that ur lack of writin talent and “facts” are the reason of this outrage and dont u know 2pac has a holiday what rapper u know has that hahahahahahha man come on if the dude was “overrated” y do u have folks in africa and the uk bumps more pac then us americans man i think u need to make a part 2 and appologize to the fans of pac for ur “overrated” bias on rappers

This list is crazy, at first I was like ” yeah you right” but honestly there is a lot worse overrated rappers out right now. I mean to put Pac on this list is just crazy. For real although many of these people arent everyones taste some had some ridiculous records and some are some are still making the hot shyt. Nelly is a business man and crazy intellegent and Fat Joe is like what was already said a pioneer. Bow Wow may not be the most lyrical rapper but this dude was selling millions when he was 13. How can you knock that. I’m not the biggest Weezy fan either but come on now that is pure hater stuff…he is one of the hottest out right now. Whether you like his whining or not. Whoever wrote this is silly!

I will tell you what again… pac shouldn’t even be on this list be cause he was an artist, not a rapper. and he would be very big now! why, because he can act! oh, you can’t say you haven’t watched poetic justice, juice or above the rime at least five times. he’s nowhere near these guys! LMAO… pac overrated! what other rapper can act as well as he did? he would be acting now and doing a lil rap album and still make it look good and the only other person that is capable of that is ICE CUBE. you all are trippin.. PAC overrated! ha! i wanna see other people make movies that are a-list! they won’;! I’m done commenting here!

Tupac got love from the east and west coast even during the beef. TUPAC came a long way from Digital Underground to be the star he was. I know you just put that on there to talk a lil smack. Maybe who you should have put on there was some of 50 cents cronies who where basically one hit wonders. Lloyd Banks
I gurantee if you put on a Tupac song and listen to the words and beats I can tell you he can still take you there. Toss it up, I get around, Dear Mama, Brenda got a baby etc. that Mackavelli CD was the illest!

u got life twisted how could u even build up da nerve 2 put 2pac on dis list i’m view di list in out rage you are an complete idiot an should retire 4rm journalism if dis is da work you come up with i mean think about da fact dat u still have rapper’s 2day re-using his lyrics damn u dumb

You just likened Tupac and Lil Wayne to Soulja Boy. Shame on you black planet! I was agreeing with you until I saw 9 and 10.

I agree with you on 8 out of 10. Pac and Fat Joe shouldn’t be on that list. I wasn’t a huge Pac fan but dude had skills. Fat Joe got skills but he’s just over shadowed by so many rappers in New York that they he really don’t get to shine. You could have put out a list of 20 an included the whole Dip Set, Mace, P. Diddy, Master P, Baby, Pete Pablo, LL Cool J, Flo-rida, Jermaine Dupri, 50, Tony Yayo, Buck, LLoyd Banks The whole Launtics, Ja Rule, i mean man the list goes on.

first off I don’t even know who asher whatever his name is. Bow wow why is he even on the list? he’s like not even, I mean why? Soulja boy he’s just a gimmick rapper for kids and teens just like bow wow. Nelly had his time now it’s gone. Lil Wayne yeah he’s totally overrated. I don’t know why people think he is so hot. He says nothing. A 5th grader could write his s**t. Rick Ross yeah he overrated. Ain’t talking bout shyt. i guess anybody can talk shyt and make money now. Plies. another elementary rapper. he sounds like he’s slow. but he’s not. he doesn’t even talk ignorant in real life he has a college degree. fat joe got flow man. jim jones he can get by but everybody else around him on dipset is trash. And Pac will never be overrated. Of course he would still be the rap icon of our generation. if he was still alive you wouldn’t hear all this bulls**t on the air waves.

WOW….WOW 2Pac seriously? Lil Wayne seriously? but 4real, 2Pac? Everyone else I honestly agree with. The last 2 though…u FIRED!

dont think i will be reading any more blogs how you gonna disrespect pac like that…he was HOTT when he was alive

pac as a top 10 over rated —

i’ll say this. if there was never a pac what would hip hop be like. him on this list is just dumb. at one time even people that wasn’t the biggest pac fan’s was still buying his albums simple because he was more than a a rapper. Pac was a poet from the hood, that made thing we often try to look ova and put in right in ya face to make you understand. ” this is where i come from , i am a product of the hood” but other than that. If he is so over-rated why to this day are rappers still trying to be like him in so many words and use his samples as well as big’s. yes pac and big were the hottest in the mid 90′s along with the nas mobb deep jay-z fat joe. and lil wayne is a beast he not over rated da kid is simply hot. if this was the top 10 rappers that should be over-rated i would agree, but this is just nut’s

You definitely can’t mention Soulja Boy and Tupac anywhere together. That just ain’t right.

Dear Journalist I have to say you are about as dumb as a box of rocks Tupac really? if you were smart he would not be rapping anymore as smart as he was he would probaly be an activist cause he had the rap game on lock and I can tell from your posting you are not a Tupac fan cause if you were a true Tupac fan you would realized he was political with his rap as well as a realist in what goes on in everyday living he rap about things rappers are just now talking about look around read books look at his doc**entaries he is one of the most educated brothers one of the most highly paid decease entertainers people still praise him,he prophecied alot that man had a gift so that lets me know you are ignorat to the fact of knowing the real Tupac.

I hate when I come on a female’s page on blackplanet and they have a Plies song on their page and I have to hear that garbage ass intro of “IT’S YA BWOYYY WHOA PLIESB AYBEH”, garbage! I can’t stand his “drawl”, accent, or whatever you want to call it. Pac being on this list was really reaching. I’m not one of them Pac fanatics but he did write some great intellectual songs that are timeless. That can’t be said about about most of the cats that are on this list. To paraphrase Talib Kweli, “lyrics have been replaced with swag”. I hardly listen to what’s out these days.

I agree with the list except for two. I can deal with Fat Joe but Pac shouldn’t be even near this list remeber his album was number one when he was in prison and he was the first rapper to have a double CD

2 pac still have unheard music
how many years after his death?
who ever wrote this blog clearly just wanted comments.
and little Wayne he been in the game how long same with joe with rappers disappearing with no more the 2 albums u really need a new hobby….GRRRRRR

2PAC overeated??? SERIOUSLY?? I wish I could slap whoever made up this list. I agree with randomashell ( 2 posts below) soulja boy and 2pac should never EVER EVER be on a list together.

dont whatever the situation was, tupac remains the best rapper ever, either he lived longer or not.

why is Tupac on the article? He is the best rapper of all time an its not even close! The fact that he’s on this list makes this article not relevant!

Pac shouldn’t be on the list…and he’s the only one. didn’t a couple of these guys make MTV’s hot rapper list? shows they dont even know dog $h!t. uhh…Lil Brain i mean Wayne is about as useful to rap as a wet towel would be in a blizzard on a naked person. PERIOD…he sucks. Plies is worse than wayne…if there is someone who could suck that bad. you can tell who raps for money and who raps becuase they LOVE the music and 90% of them do it for the money not cuz they love music. wasn’t a huge fan of Pac but he was nice…and if your gon throw Pac on that list you might as well desecrate hip hop by throwing Biggie and Big L and Pun on this list as well…NEWS FLASH: SOMEBODDY LIKES THESE LAME NIGGAS CUZ THEY KEEP GOING PLATINUM. WHOSE TO BLAME…YOUR TO BLAME.

how u gonna fu5k over pac like that.pac is the best.ya understand.

man i usually dont comment on stuff like this but man who ever made this screwed up by putting 2pac on there first of all jay z and ti use 2 pac till this day on their songs everyone trying to be the next 2 pac and biggie u dont hear them saying i wanna be the next jay z or ti

How in the hell Pac is apart of this list? Pac was on a whole different level then these cats. Pac had something to talk about. These cats don’t. Now I do like Lil Wayne cuz he’s catchy but he can never be on Pac level.

Wow putting Pac on alist of over=rated rapped is plain disrespectful. Half of these bums out now wouldnt even be spitting if he was still alive.

You must not know anything about hip hop if you think that 2pac, wayne and nelly are overrated.If pac was still here none of these rappers including jay z wouldn’t be as hot as they are right now.Nelly put in alot of work.Tons of hot s**t.And wayne as other rappers scared and switching up their styles.That whole list isn’t accurate.

why the f**k is pac on dis list???? somebody need to be knocked on dey ass for dat 1…the nigga is dead and cant knobody touch him…

Im an Oakland native…and I grew up on 2pac and hell he still kills the rap game whether or not he’s alive.He still had albums coming out and they were still making the charts as oppose to rappers who are still making albums today.And also 2pac lives through others people music so therefore 2pac will always be making music regardless if has passed.

woooaaaah..speachless.. PAC?!?!!! f**k is wrong wit yall.. u gon put pac in wit bow wow n soulja boy??.. yall must be outta ya damn mind.. pac was preachin.. how could ya put em on a list wit mr.superman-dat-hoe??.. he put meanin in his lyrics he was a poet and an activist.. how can u listen to pac and not feel his struggle.. he was eatn n breathn rap.. and yall wanna put em on a list with sum kids that dont take a min to sit down and put meanin in their tracks..a beat and a two bar hook..and these kids rush out da studio to get bacc to hangin out at da mall.. g’damn shame!

I got an article topic for the Urban Daily: WRITERS AT THE URBAN DAILY GET PAID TO REGURGITATE THEIR SHALLOW AND ADOLESCENT OPINIONS ON TOPICS THEY KNOW NOTHING ABOUT!!

Are you hiring?? I could $hit my opinions into articles all day just like yall do! Probably better actually! Publish that article and let me comment on it. From now on, I’m just going to comment on how poorly executed these articles are [and I'll always be proved right by UD].

as a true hip-hop head i agree with the whole list/i have to lol/lil wayne… come on yall he really aint sayin much/…i hope ur pirahna bite????/i venerial like v****a??? come one he rhymes but vaguely makes sense/on the 2pac tip/i grew up in a b.i.g. house/i respect him but he was more of a poet to me/his flow was awful/ he should have shy’d away from rapping and stuck to poetry/he wasnt too hood to begin with/but then again like everyone below me and im sure ahead of me…people r gonna judge these :::eh-hem:::: rhyme sayers by who sales the most/fair enough/but if u arent intelligent enough to judge the list without ur emotions try to hide ur ignorance :)

the izz-meister

are you serious, pac biggie got fame first but pac set the standard, you guys are seriously joking right. I know i get it, some person who was in high school when Tougher than leather came out wrote this.

Ohhh I see. The articles are biased because all the writers are from/residing in NY. I love me some East Coast music [all coasts actually] but yall are some haters for puttin 2pac on here, and now I know why. All Urban Daily articles are going to be biased to favor the east coast. Now I know.

I guess who ever came up with this topic is clearly trying to keep a job. It seems that there is nothing else to talk about so you decided to through Pac’s name it this category. Not to mention he or she must be a Biggie fan…….. However, slim to say that Pac was over rate is a slap in the face of people who appreciate rap music that has meaning to it. There is not that many rappers out there now and back then, that can carry a song with true meaning, and be creative with the art. Nowadays its about putting a couple of words together behind a beat. Obviously you have never heard any of his work, so its easy for you to make a comment as such. I’ve found that its easy for someone to knock creativeness and accept nonsense…… Yo! I do agree with 100% about the rest of the list…..Oh! by the way, you need to read a little more about my dude. He stood for something at one point in his life and that’s what make a person true.

Are you serious?!? 2Pac, Lil Wayne, and Rick Ross should definitely NOT be on this list. 2Pac is the most influential rapper of all time. Lil Wayne is the hottest rapper in game right now. Rick Ross has remained consistent since Hustlin’, Whoever, wrote this list apparently doesn’t listen to rap CD’s, mixtapes, or features…only mainstream radio. Writer, broaden your horizons, cause you are definitely out of touch!

Urban Daily, once again you proved how stupid you guys really are. I wanna echo everyone’s feelings when I say, WHAT THE F**K IS TUPAC DOING ON DIS LIST?!? Y’all done lost your damn minds.
It really don’t take much to be a writer for the Urban Daily, does it?

What they are speaking on is the fact that Pac with all due respect. Was a B-list rapper until he became jealous of Biggie. Pac had four or five albums out before The BK Don breathed on the mic. Once Pac had a glass full of B.I.G Hateroraid That when he became a nation wide house hold name . Before that he was just that dude from digital underground

Do your research before u eva disrepect brother Tupac Shakur again…. His name alone is deeper than most rappers…

Agreed@McWheels1973. The idiot who wrote the story couldn’t even sign his name. Why or how could you put Tupac and Lil Wayne on the same list as Plies, Rick Ross, and of all people Jim Jones??? Do you really think Lil Wayne and Tupac are comparable to the rest? GTF out of here!

WHOOOOOOOOA TAKE PAC OFF THE LIST…NOW!

I AGREE WITH THE REST.

(Although i dont know any real hip hop heads who even consider Soulja Boy as an actual rapper and no one talks about Bow Wow)

Wow!!!!!!!! I admit. Wayne does too much at times so he can’t give his best every time but in no way does he deserve to be on this list. Tupac?? Tupac?? Are you serious. In honesty whoever wrote this list lost all credibility when they put him on this list. Tupac was the most relevant person in the game when he was alive so how is it that you feel his death catapulted him to his legendary stature. Tupac was an iconic legend before death. Tupac is number 1. I put him over Biggie because the body of work. 2Pac had songs that uplifted people like “Keep Ya Head Up”. I don’t recall ever hearing that type of song from Biggie. Also Biggie only had 2 albums. 2pac had several good albums. I can’t recall one that came out, especially while he was living, that wasn’t good. Putting Tupac on this list really made me lose the understanding of this whole list. I’m losing trust in this website’s informative nature after seeing that.

Now, Fat Joe was okay with D.I.T.C. before he hooked up with Terror squad, and other than that, everyone else minus 2pac deserves to have their mic snatched and hung with the cord…

who the hell is this hater. pac is the greatest hands down.
if pac is overrated then biggie is super duper overrated.

This is just to funny! I never commented on here but this time I had to…this list is ohh so true. I can think of some more names to go on there but we will leave it the way it is for now…

Who the fukk wrote this dumb ass sh!t?

1. Jim Jones’ album P.O.M.E. is actually a thorough album which is something that is very much missing from the industry right now.

2. 80% of Fat Joe’s singles have no features.

3. Plies- sucks

4. Nelly- has fell off…

5. Bow wow- appeals to his audience…106 & park…

6.Rick Ross- gets a c++

7.Asher Roth- sucks

8.Souljah Boy- makes dance songs… If he sucks then so does Luke, and the 69 boys…
Some artists belong in different subcategories…

9. Lil Wayne- when he isn’t singing can still out rap almost every rapper…

10. Pac- clearly either the best ever or top 3… ever…

This person is clearly not a rap fan at all…

woooaaaah..speachless.. PAC?!?!!! f**k is wrong wit yall.. u gon put pac in wit bow wow n soulja boy??.. yall must be outta ya damn mind.. pac was preachin.. how could ya put em on a list wit mr.superman-dat-hoe??.. he put meanin in his lyrics he was a poet and an activist.. how can u listen to pac and not feel his struggle.. he was eatn n breathn rap.. and yall wanna put em on a list with sum kids that dont take a min to sit down and put meanin in their tracks..a beat and a two bar hook..and these kids rush out da studio to get bacc to hangin out at da mall.. g’damn shame! take pac of da list!

umm…damn…how u gon have pac on there…u sick…lol…why dont u have jay-z on there then cuz 90% of his flow is either pac or biggie…i would put kanye or ti on there too…before pac…the other 9…i agree with..but u missed up wit pac…

tought i was de only one that realise soja boy was just singing garbage

WHOEVER WROTE OR THOUGHT OF THIS IS STUPID. WHOEVER THINK 2PAC STILL WOULDN’T BE THE COLDEST IS DUMB. IF PAC WAS HERE HALF OF THESE M/F WOULDNT EVEN BE OUT!!!!!!!!

i think pac would be greater if he was alive an alot of the clowns would not be singing so much s**t

It would have been great if the writer could have stuck with the top ten CURRENT most overrated mc’s. 2Pac was definitely a pioneer b/c of his rhymes. Not all mc’s have great lyrics. I think his name should be replaced with Flavor Flav.

ARE U FUKKIN KIDDIN ME U PUT TUPAcK, LIL WAYNE, JIM JONES & PLIES IN DAT FUKKIN LIST!!! FUKK WHOEVA PUT DIZ LIST 2GETER!!! YALL DONT NO S**T!!! AN U NEED 2 GO BAKK 2 WATEVA WHOLE U KRAWLED OUT OF BLXXD!!! FUKK U!!! DIE SLOW MUTHA FUKKA!!!!

O BUT DA OTHA SIX IS BXX BXX THO LAMO

Now I can deal with the other ones, but Tupac is the greatest rapper that ever was. He had lyrical skills and he talked about everything, not one sided like a lot of todays rappers. For you to put down a legend, apparently you are a country music fan, because you don’t know a damn thing about rap.

For solo artists, it’ll be a toss-up between Kanye West, Lil’ Wayne, GZA from Wu-Tang, and Talib Kweli ! Why TK ? Cause he’s absorbing the catch-phrase lingo devised by Common.
Why GZA ? Simple: he has an 80,000 word vocabulary when it comes to spittin’ lyrics ! Lil’ Wayne’s getting drunk off the popularity rum punch . . not to mention A MILLI LOLLIPOPS !! And Kanye ? He knows how to draw a crowd, and judging from the serious car accident he suffered in his younger years, he’s MAD inspirational. But if I finally could choose from 4 bottlecaps who’s hot right now, it would be Talib Kweli ! HANDS DOWN !

Oh hell naw! This is the some bulls**t. Come on now Pac is one of the best ever hands down. Wayne is one the best right now & Ross is still live even if he did lie about being a C.O. Whut about 50 he has been garbage ever since his first album. This must be some New York s**t or somthing.I cant believe this s**t… Every body else maybe but damn stop hatin on real lyricist…

i think for the most the writer is tellin the turth all of this rappers now a day fit in to and image take that away and some if not most of them got nothing tpac the is cuase he may have been one the sweetest rap but nobody really care except his hard core fans and for really that is the way it when for him. him and B.i.g. got into it he did blow up , as far little wayne he not all the great creative yes but he still not all that great i can come up with verse better that anything he got and i dont rap i think alot of yall are thinking in the aspect how these aartist relate to you and that cool but in the aspect how really got talent very few on this list do , here away to check if they cant beat an old school rapper from 1985 then there more than likly crap cause everything is supost keep better and better the rap game right know with exception of a few is stuck in the nintys.also people it the beat you can have a pound of s**t in livin room and not if you got enough air freasher

I agree with this list.
I’m a little hesitant on Tupac being there. His lyrics made sense, it had meaning, both good and bad. he told a story with his music, if he still was alive, yes i still believe he would be as big as he was then.
True, he was blown up after his death, but if he was still alive here, whether he got bigger or not, i would still have continue to bop to his music, because it was always influential.

wayne, nelly, everyone on Dipset, ha they deserve this.

lol@ fat Joe being relevant period. i thought he was only mentioned because of his shoe collection.

woooaaaah..speachless.. PAC?!?!!! f**k is wrong wit yall.. u gon put pac in wit bow wow n soulja boy??.. yall must be outta ya damn mind.. pac was preachin.. how could ya put em on a list wit mr.superman-dat-hoe??.. he put meanin in his lyrics he was a poet and an activist.. how can u listen to pac and not feel his struggle.. he was eatn n breathn rap.. and yall wanna put em on a list with sum kids that dont take a min to sit down and put meanin in their tracks..a beat and a two bar hook..and these kids rush out da studio to get bacc to hangin out at da mall.. g’damn shame! take pac off da list.. rite now!

TUPAC?????????????F**k whoever wrote this bull s**t!! and F**k urban daily for disrespecting greatness!! lil wayne wtf plies wtf! even rick ross his products sound good even though he frontin. who the hell is asher roth? man a cracka most have wrote this article!! Aint no way a black man wrote this and put tupac on there!!

IF PAC WAS ALIVE EVERYBODY WOULD BE SUCKIN HIS DICK AND TRYNA BE LYRICAL..BUT SINCE THERE IS NO GUID OR DIRECTION PEOPLE ARE MAKING WHAT EVER..I DONT HAVE NO BEEF WITH THAT LIST EXCEPT WIT PAC..PAC WAS AN ANIMAL HE COULD RAP ABOUT ANYTHING…PACS OLD FREESTYLES AND SONGS STILL KILL EVERYBODY OUT

Jim Jone’s voice makes me want to shoot myself…. I would not be surprised if Plies is illiterate… I have more street cred than (lil) bow wow… When I listen to soulja boy, I feel my IQ drop…

2 PAC? THESE EDITORS MUST BE PAID OFF BY THE ILLUMINATI!

MAN, YALL TRIPPIN WHEN IT COMES TO PAC N PLIES!!! Lil Wayne and the rest get a SHO U RITE cuz waynes s**t half the time makes sense and his lyrics r whack. Pac is poetry plain and simple and Plies just tell it like it is from the bedroom to the club 100% REAL

woooaaaah..speachless.. PAC?!?!!! f**k is wrong wit yall.. u gon put pac in wit bow wow n soulja boy??.. yall must be outta ya damn mind.. pac was preachin.. how could ya put em on a list wit mr.superman-dat-hoe??.. he put meanin in his lyrics he was a poet and an activist.. how can u listen to pac and not feel his struggle.. he was eatn n breathn rap.. and yall wanna put em on a list with sum kids that dont take a min to sit down and put meanin in their tracks..a beat and a two bar hook..and these kids rush out da studio to get bacc to hangin out at da mall.. g’damn shame!……

Daaaaamnnn definately can’t put Tupac on the list… the rest of these mothaf**kas can go down the drain tho. Lil Wayne… DEFINATELY OVERRATED. I can definately see that hip-hop has taken a major fall when Lil Wayne is on everybody’s favorite’s list… but don’t get me wrong, the nigga don’t suck, he’s just waaaaay too overrated. Like they said… He rhymes s**t that has no meaning to the last bar. then he makes up words, or mispronounces words just to make them rhyme and say “Ooops I mean ‘such and such’” NOT TO MENTION the dude can’t f**kin sing worth a damn, whether if he has Auto-Tune on his voice or not. and last but not least… WHY DOES LIL WAYNE HAVE SO MUCH RESPECT FROM AMERICA, AND WHOEVER THE HELL ELSE LIKES THIS DUDE AFTER KISSING ANOTHER GROWN MAN ON THE MOUTH? I DON’T GIVE A F**K IF IT’S HIS DADDY OR NOT. GROWN MEN DON’T KISS ON THE MOUTH, LET ALONE KISS AT ALL. WHAT DOES THAT HAVE TO SAY ABOUT AMERICA; 90% OF AMERICA IS GAY?? WELL HEY THIS IS BLACKPLANET, AND PLENTY OF FAGS ON HERE… IF I OFFENDED YOU… OH THE F**K WELL, GET OVER IT. HIT UP THE INBOX OR SOMETHIN. I’M OUT THIS MOTHAF**KA.

**this comment I made was deleted off the comment list (it was #41) so I’m reposting it. UD IS FULL OF HATIN@SS WRITERS****

I got an article topic for the Urban Daily: WRITERS AT THE URBAN DAILY GET PAID TO REGURGITATE THEIR SHALLOW AND ADOLESCENT OPINIONS ON TOPICS THEY KNOW NOTHING ABOUT!!

Are you hiring?? I could $hit my opinions into articles all day just like yall do! Probably better actually! Publish that article and let me comment on it. From now on, I’m just going to comment on how poorly executed these articles are [and I'll always be proved right by UD].

I have to disagree on alot of the rappers that “dont have skills” Plies.. is the shinaniganz and Tupac is the greatest, Nelly is hot too… hmm.. Soulja Boy, hell nah, i got to agree with yall on him.. he wackk..

I only have 2 problems with this list 2pac and Lil Wayne…..

2pac is forever alive (my opinion)….but on a serious note the world wasn’t as it is when 2Pac was around, Pac took spittin to a whole nother level, Da dude could make you bob ur head to real sh**….Not the BS you hear on the radio today……

Lil Wayne great lyricists… might be the best in this era of rap music…dude is on everybody track….Now That Has To Say Somethin…….

Whomeva made that list needs 2 find another job because clearly U dont know rap. Half the people on there dont even belong! AND HOW DARE U SAY PAC IS OVER-RATED!!

Wack absolutely Tupac spoke prolically. He wasa lyrical Genius and if he was living youd be biting he style. Hes words had foundation meaning even the songs that in a way degrade the ladies who didnt carry themselves as ladies. If thats the case BIG wasnt relevant.

OH HELL NO.

TUPAC DOES NOT I REPEAT NOT BELONG ON THAT LIST!

HOW DARE YOU LIST HIM WITH THE LIKES OF LIL WAYNE AND SOULJA BOY! ARE U CRAAAAZZZYY!

You can take Fat Joe off too. He an the best he SURE AS HELL dont belong on this list. I could think of several more that SHOULD BE HOWEVER.

EVERYBODY I HAVE NEVER EVEN HEARD OF OR DO BELONG.

BUT TUPAC..PLEASE REMOVE

THAT IS THE ULTIMATE DISRESPECT. I CAN NOT BELIEVE THIS. I AM OFFENDED.

TUPAC WILL RUN CIRCLES AROUND MOST OF THESE LOUSY @SS RAPPERS WE ARE SUBJECTED TO THESE DAYS.

smh @ putting tupac on the list…

Hold up Hold up yall put Tupac… (that nigg) on this punk ass list…. He DEF spoke from many perspectives, even when things didnt happen to him, he still spoke for all ppl from different backgrounds and had many different sides to him that made him very versatile… he and biggie shaped hip hop into what it is today… And if him and wayne on here… then wit the last album 808′s, autotune, and that mullet Kanye is overrated… 50 cent beefin with everyone to get his weight up… and TI going to jail (AGAIN) only sold because of the situation and based his whole album on it… PPL always hatin on others trying to get paper (i say milk the system for all you can get)… (kinda mad)… How about do most underrated rappers like Common, Nas, and The Game… THERE’S A LIST FOR YOU

pardon that word Prolific was typing fast a little upset that they dissed Pac.

Your list is almost 100% accurate like most people who have already posted Pac doesn’t deserve to be on the list with the rest of those other bums but he is not the GOAT he definitely should at the least crack most people’s top 15. Ross gawbidge, Plies gawbidge, Wayne gawbidge, Jones gawbidge, Joey Crack gawbidge, Everybody else gawbidge, Pac GOAT contender.

Now wait a minute, you put 2pac and lil wayne on there to be controversial, right? You had to. I think you just wanted to shake some s**t up and get people posting. Well good f**king job.

I never post comments, but the writer of this article needs to do a little rap homework. you must be stuck in the roaring 20′s. Big band is dead!

This is just my opinion

1) How dare you put Pac on here and if you’re gonna ask the question :would he be as great as was then now if he lived? you gotta be fair and ask the same about Biggie and stop being so one-sided

2) Asher Roth is sick WHO THE HELL CARES ABOUT XXL!?!?!

3) Soulja Boy only has about one year left of his career before he fizzles out

4)Sorry I’ve always felt Wayne was overrated so what if he’s on everyones tracks not all it if good let alone does it even make sense. if you force yourself on hundreds of tracks odds are SOME of it is gonna be hot. But alot of people said that million in a week or not, the Carter III wasn’t worth the wait

I Have A Few Problems With This List First Of All 2 Pac Is On Here Lets Get Real And Then Plies He Da Realist Nigga In The Game And Lil Wayne The Most Lyrical Nigga In The Game In Now You Need To Re Do This List

Lil wayne sucks my left (non-existent) nut! He should be number one on the sh*t list!

Oh, but wait- white people love his monkey a**. He is number one on their list and some of them even go as far as to call him the greatest rapper that ever lived!

But you was wrong a** hell for puttin Pac (wit his fine a**) on that list. Why you do him dirty like that?

Yall put Tupac… (that dude) on this punk ass list…. He DEF spoke from many perspectives, even when things didnt happen to him, he still spoke for all ppl from different backgrounds and had many different sides to him that made him very versatile… he and biggie shaped hip hop into what it is today… And if him and wayne on here… then wit the last album 808′s, autotune, and that mullet Kanye is overrated… 50 cent beefin with everyone to get his weight up… and TI going to jail (AGAIN) only sold because of the situation and based his whole album on it… PPL always hatin on others trying to get paper (i say milk the system for all you can get)… (kinda mad)… How about do most underrated rappers like Common, Nas, and The Game… THERE’S A LIST FOR YOU

Come on now Tupac music is still relavent today, these new cats are relavent for a season (ballin!)

now i can agree wit everyone but Tupac…I doubt he wuld be trash like all the others

Wat Da F**k? You put 2Pac, Lil Wayne, Rick Ross and Jim Jones in the same mix as the others? They are some of the realist rappers I heard in a long time! I agree with the others but you got to be kidding!!!! If 2Pac and Biggie were still alive, most on this list probably would be workin at either the corner or McDonalds! Dat sum bulls**t!

Nelly & Joe Crack aint trash but i havent heard n e thang hype frm them n a min.but everybody else jus keep saying the same stuff time and time again

okay most of this list is right but as far as Pac go rather he was dead or living he was still spittin that real… Plies still sellin cuz he a freak and some think he do the things he say .. that idk about… Wayne was my n***a until maybe like this past year cuz he been slippin… Soulja Boy music doin good cuz his beats 2 me be on point but maybe i only like them cuz ima dancer but his raps b lame but the music makes it look better…

Tupac Is The Only One That Need To Be Taken Off This List. There Is A Hell Of A LOT MORE So Called Rappers Need To Be On Here. A Lot Of em’ sound The Same, Voice & Music It’s A MESS NOW!

Do the top ten greatest MC’s alive today… probably a lot harder to compile… To me, if you can’t rap about more than 3 different subject matters… then you are not a good MC. How much ways can you tell me how much cake you got? At least Asher Roth is the most original I’ve heard as late… even Em, came back popping bottles… shame on you Em! MCs with no substance, won’t last in this coming age.

i disagree more than i agree check yall list and start over

I mean to each is own but if you are going to come out with a list like this then you must back it up and not just put a one line justification with it. It seems like some up north hater posted this. And you show me someone that has more consistent flows than wayne, not everything that jay put out went hard but niggas still ran to the store to cop his albums.

Lol finally some one who think lil wayne ain’t “the greatest rapper alive”. Hes gotten so punk and so commercial now. Guess u gotta get that money . . . :(

I Ain Got No Probs About Anybody On The List With The Exception Of Pac..Dis Nigga Could Use Wordplay To Tell A Story Like No Otha! The Only Nigga Dat Could Turn A Party Out..Make A Long Drive Enjoyable..And Settle Yo Ass Down N Make U Think..U Get A Fat Ass Fail For Listin Pac Homie…

Man i think Fat Joe should be talking off. But besides Him and maybe Ricky this list is so accurate im so proud of who ever made this list! Wayne and 2pac are 2 rappers i have been saying was overrated 4 years now

Pac and Lil Wayne both have talent but this list is about being overrated not whos garbage! Remember that and im sorry both are ovarated!

you lost me on tupac. i i wasnt a great fan but i will admit dude had skills.

Well, my personally i feel this whole list is bs!!! Now i believe jim jones & fat joe should be on this… But i believe all the rest hold they on… An im glad they gettin recognition… but jus not in such a negative way

Im from New Orleans and Weezy F dont rap about anything. Sure he makes that sh!t sound cool but its still has no point 2 it. All punchline no + no substance = ovarated!

I was right along with u until u hit tupac. Man come on lets be serious have u really sat down and listened to him? Listened to his words? To answer your question yes u missed a whole lot more!

Okay you say the list about being overrated, so who out there is getting the props that are due to them? Cause apparently wayne, pac, ross, and everybody else that you can think of isn’t. You talk about people being too commercial and different, but it wasnt a problem when outkast,lenny kravitz, and artist like Talib Kweli was doing it. Not to mention Kanye West

Aww man… I never write comments when they have list like these but Pac? C’mon… You gotta be ******* CRAZY!!!! Every Album he has dropped, minus the ones others have dropped for him after his death, have been classics. All of um’, so take him off that list. The rest of them cats is fugazi. I’m from the west and let me tell you, I’ve been all over Cali and there isn’t one nationality or age group that doesn’t know of him or love him. This has to be the most disrespectful thing you guys can publish besides that Obama monkey drawing. WAKE UP!!! whoever wrote this and post an apology. Not only was he the epitome of a “rapper” he was the most official. He lived the life he was portraying. The rest of them cats you got on the list can’t measure up to Pac, Period. Just cuz you from the hood doesn’t make you a rider and Pac was just that… but, with lyrical content to back it up.

How about 50? he should be on that list!

Lil’ Wayne should be at the top of every list that talks about whack rappers. Every song, he talks about the same s**t. When is he gonna talk about something that actually makes sense? As a matter of fact, when is he gonna learn to talk proper english? And to top it all off, the boy looks like a human waterbug. Look at that guy! His face looks like something that was drawn on the simpsons. I think All that down south s**t is questionable, cause they all talk about the same s**t. With the exception of Outkast, Ludacrist, and maybe even the one to barely slip through the cracks, T.I. Bring hip-hop back to being hip-hop. KRS-1, Scarface, LLCoolJ, Come back with some sick s**t and bury these little fa-gayzie ass wanna be rappers in the ground.

A lot pf these rappers r over ratted except tupac. He is the only one that is not overrated. If he was still alive he would b killin it n the rap game. He is the one of the few rappers that rap about somethin and he is still my favorite rapper til this day. None of these current rappers come close 2 him.Lil Wayne just has tight beats. Soulja boy is wack but makes great dance songs 4 the kids. If these rappers didn’t have tight beats they would not be popular right now.

I agree that Pac is overrated. They didn’t say he was a bad rapper. He was cold as hell…but he’s overrated as hell. I personally can think of quite a few rappers who were better than Pac…in my opinion. Rappers who are alive. If Pac didn’t die he would not be as “great” as he is.

Artist should grow and theres nothing wrong with commercial.
All 2pac lyrics sound the same he used the same 5 words in every damn song. Ya’ll more in luv with his persona more than his music with makes him ovarated! Kanye is my favorite rapper right now and i hated 808′s and heartbreaks! And i luv rock and alternative music. I judge the music based on the music

You have to be kiddin me Whoever made this list wouldn’t even think about getting in a booth with Pac. You can take any album made .before he died was crazy. Now I love Dr. Dre and Eazy E, Snoop, are you saying that they are better than Pac.Where is Puffy and a whole lot of Wack East Coast Rappers. No disrespect to the east birth place of Hip Hop but some of the cats are wack Most of the Emcess on this list are either from the south or West coast. Is this East Coast bias ? I could come up with 50 rappers again that couldn’t or wouldn’t sit in a room with Pac. I’m from Chicago, I love ma man Kanye. Can you honestly say Kanye is a better MC that Pac ?

he obviously put Tupac on the list to start controversy in the comments.. thats all this mothaf**ka wanted was comments

i feel like 8 of these 10 rappers that you have on here like PLIES is an ok rappper but he just talks about sex too much and lil wayne is very nice but if he stopped singing then it would be better but tupac is the s**t he is a very good rapper somtetimes he thinks outside of the box and most of his songs have a positive message to them

Yes i can say Kanye is better than Pac it aint even close Kanye has all the punchlines you luv but his lyrics have a point,and not all repetitive like Pac

Who eva made dis GARBAGE is GARBAGE. LIL wayne, n Tupac are tow of the best rappers… i know… the rest yeah ur right… lil wayne… no his s**t dont go together but he has u thinkin and he use word u wouldnt even know… Tupac.. hes jus amazing and i will always think he would be the s**t if he still lived today R.I.P Tupac!!!

Plies and soulja boy are the worst rapper we all know about! They’re terrible!

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention. Its funny as hell how people say pac was overrated but what do you consider to be a good emcee? You have to keep in mind that most of these cats on this list have ghost writers. Pac never had one. You have to keep in mind most of these cats performances are garbage live. Pac’s performances were never dull. I remember in 94′ I seen Pac in Compton, chilling with no body guards. That’s love. Which one of these cats be in the hood like that? If all you people do is judge a MC by his words, then you don’t need to post a comment. Judge them by their performance’s, the content of their lyrics, the truth in their lyrics, their consistency and their fan base. That’s a emcee. If you just saying a MC is good because of fabricated words, c’mon. You just like these niguhs who posted this list. Don’t get me wrong, it’s different strokes for different folks, but the bottom line is… Take my nig Pac off the list homie. Straight up.

Ya’ll stupid as hell!!! How could you dare put PAC on this list of clowns. First of all if it wasn’t for Pac none if these nyggaz would even be rapping, he influenced every last one of them. Second and more important Pac was a true MC and Hip Hop icon, his work touched every base. He had the hardcore street thug shyt, the intellectual political flow, rhymes uplifting our beautiful black sisters, and some that called out those that weren’t lady like(lol u know what i mean)rhymes illustrating the pain black men faced and continue to face. Rhymes that uplifted our community as well as shined a light on the negativity we face in our community. These rappers now are just one dimensional, its either how much money they got, how high they get, or what buss down chick they just hit. None of these dudes talking bout anything relevant to the hood or our black community period.
And further more; would he be as great if he lived? You are right dummy the answer is no. HE would be 10 times BETTER!!!!
PAC was a leader for real and wanted to see our people do and be better, and right before his death he’d made a strong step in that direction(which is probably the real reason he was killed)
IF PAC should be on any list it should be the list of the greatest of all time! And he should be in the top three(i’d give him #1 of course lol) period

WOW! Obviously the person that wrote this article is PRO Biggie. How in the world could 2pac be on this list? Even from the beginning; with Digital Underground, his flow was better than most of the artist out today. Lil Wayne? I have to admit that he has stepped his game up a lot. How could two of the best artist on many list end up on this list?

Jim Jones- maybe he can step it up sum time

Fat joe- naw fat joe hot they trippin

Plies- wack as f**k period

nelly- he’s a disney channel rapper

bow wow- who takes him serious anyway

Rick Ross- this dude hotass f**k on the mic (50 lame ass hell by tha way)

Asher Roth- who tha f**k is that????????

Solja Boy- everybody kno he cant rap

Lil Wayne- wayne is still hot but jus not as hot as he use to be

Tupac- they shotout for tryna play pac like he wasnt the truth

woooaaaah..speachless.. PAC?!?!!! f**k is wrong wit yall.. u gon put pac in wit bow wow n soulja boy??.. yall must be outta ya damn mind.. pac was preachin.. how could ya put em on a list wit mr.superman-dat-hoe??.. he put meanin in his lyrics he was a poet and an activist.. how can u listen to pac and not feel his struggle.. he was eatn n breathn rap.. and yall wanna put em on a list with sum kids that dont take a min to sit down and put meanin in their tracks..a beat and a two bar hook..and these kids rush out da studio to get bacc to hangin out at da mall.. g’damn shame! ………………

That List is 99% right…Pac tho?…Naw…Listen to the message in his songs and just talkin. He is Number 1 no doubt…Lil Wayne…STRAIT UP GARBAGE…1 hot summer and i’ll admit he was doin his thang then between the carter and dem first few drought mixtapes he was on it…after that…he a strait up clown…erebody else on that list earned they spot…..

Like one poster said on this topic…the author of this ‘top 10 overrated’ started some controversy by putting Tupac Shakur as an ‘overrated’ rapper. That is straight up BULLS**T and STUPID to even put that man on that list. All the rest of them, including LIL WAYNE (NOTE: I DO LIKE LIL WAYNE SO DON’T GET ME TWISTED).

Over the weekend I watched the doc**entary TUPAC: RESURRECTED at least five (5) times, and as much as I loved him before his death…I am convinced even more that TUPAC was murdered to shut him up from speaking the truth and to stop him from being a positive influential part in modern black society. TUPAC may have lived by and died by the gun but he was no stupid ass- kissing, money hungry, Uncle Tom-ass black man. He knew what he was doing and had he had REAL BLACK people in his corner…he could have strived to do great things outside of rap music.

For me….TUPAC’s murder is no different from MALCOLM X, MLK Jr., and THE BLACK PANTHER PARTY. White people DO NOT want black people to prosper amongst each other and those people were distroyed to be sure it doesn’t happen. EVER!

So it comes to no suprise since TUPAC’s murder that there hasn’t been a single rapper who has been willing to make the kind of moves he did. EVERY rapper out now, even if I do like him, are sugary and watered-down. TUPAC, while his content was over the top, still had substance and was deep enough that white people felt threaten.

I agree with every single rapper the author put in his ‘top 10 overrated’. Glad to see that TUPAC was last, but pissed enough that he was even in that list.

I can see how seeing Pac on a list with Plies would piss people off! but Pac is still ovarated. He use the word “enemies” in like every song! Imma Pac fan dont get it twisted but this isnt the garbage list this is the ovarated list and that he was!

Pac does not belong with MLK im sorry! He was a show off. Real men dont act up becuz they see cameras. Anyways thats my point ya’ll think of pac the person. I talking bout Pac the rapper. If he didnt behave like he did and didnt get shot and killed he would not get the attention he gets now and thats why I feel he is ovarated

yo im readin these otha comments n niggas is on track but WAYNE IS TRASH…aint no if’s and’s or but’s bout it…Im not no hatin nigga neither…i usta bang his joints but READ a verse that dude spit on anything…Do the whole thing match even match the subject of the hooks?..NO…he got weak punches n in my opinion when u doin a song…it aint bout punchlines…if u deserved to called the hottest cuz of punchlines den JR.Writer would be top 10…Waynes verses dont make no sense….”And when I was 5, my favorite movie was “The Gremlins”
Ain’t got s**t to do with this, but I just thought that I should mention”…that aint the first nor the last time he said dat type of s**t….

first of all im pissed off at dat list cause plies and pac neva overrated who eva wrote dat dont know what da f**k dey talkin bout but everybody else on dat list garbage ass hell but solja boy got some good dance songs and im not jus sayin plies cold cuz im a female he really is and im his 1 fan

last thang…..if u cant feel pac u aint no real nigga…strait like dat…u could be an african american…o.k…but appeals to the “niggas”…i can put damn near everything he put out on and get my mind where ever it needs to be…any givin situation….

Tha List Is Str8. Take Tupac Off N Put Wayne On there Twice. Tupac Is Way Greater Then Those Other Rappers You Cant Even Compare Wtf Is Wrong With This S**t….

NOW ya’ll know yall wrong for putting lil wayne and tupac in the same lame ranking as Soulja Boy Bow Wow and JIM JONES… And that Nelly joke that his last album went double wood got me ROTFL.

I am so glad they made this list and put Pac on their because he is definitely overrated. If he hadn’t died he would not be THAT hot! Everybody else is straight GARBAGE. I like Waynes beats but I tune his ass out. Souljah Boy and Bow Wow should be on that list 3 times!

Who the f**k is Asher Roth??

Plies SUCKS he has no lyrically skill if you like him theres nothing wrong but he still sucks!LOL There are plenty rappers that suck but i find myself singing there songs dont mean they dont suck cuz they can make catchy songs(see lil john)
Yeah I disagree i like Weezy punchlines and i dont think he’s trash but he is ovarated and its true he raps about BS!

Look F@ck what this lame @ss dude posting on this page Wayne hot cause what he say things that make you think you not Lyricly inclined enough to understand but F@ck that Pac, Pac really he must be a homo who got no play… grow one pimpin… be easy

sub wayne for 50 cent, sub tupac for lil flip…. now thats a list..

Ya’ll missing the point of the list. Its not talent based its based on hype vs. talent! 2pac hype exceeds his talent. He still as deep still as nice just not as much as the hype. How hard is that 2 comprehend?

This list is MADD straight! Pac was a great poet, but in everything else he was a damn lie. I don’t understand how any real street niggas could worship a studio gangsta. Everyone else on this list is a joke, and ain’t worth the attention. Make ya money pimpin’ I guess.

the editor of this blog/ editorial opinion obviously has no real taste in hip-hop. First and foremost, Tupac Shakur was not only a revolutionary rapper, philosopher, poet, movie actor but he actually wanted to be the impetus for change. How dare this stupid ass no brain dickless editor put Tupac Shakur up on this list? Thats like comparing Barrack Obama to George Bush, i mean think about it….you can not add oranges and apples a*****e!

na Asher Roth that nigga like Mike Jones. WHO? LOL he shouldnt be on the list cuz nobody know who he is. And 50 should take his spot. Once again i dont dislike 50. but its talent vs. hype!

WHO EVER MADE THIS LIST IS EITHER ON DOPE OR DOG FOOD, IF THESE ARTIST WERE NOT GOOD THEN WHY THE HELL DID THEY SELL MILLIONS. THE REASON SOME ARTIST LOOSE THEIR SPARK IS BECAUSE THEY FAIL TO MODERNIZE THEIR RHYME, BUT WHEN THEY WERE IN THEIR ERA THEY WERE THE S**T. WHO EVER CAME UP WIT THIS LIST SOMEONE SMACK THE DOG PISS OUT OF THEM POR FAVOR….

ALL I GOTTA SAY IS IF U GONE DIS PAC I WANNA SEE SUM SHYT ABOUT BIGGIE TO CAUS PAC WAS ONE THE BEST MC’S HOW CAN HE BE OVERRATED U DID SEE HIM GOING AROUND SAYIN HE THE BEST RAPPER ALIVE DID U? ANY TIME YOU HAVE PEOPLE ON TV SAYIN THAT YOU ARE THE BEST RAPPER ALIVE AND COMPARING YOU TO ORTHER ARTISTS THATS OVERRATING AKA RIDING DIKK.. PAC CARRIED CALI N BIGGIE CARRIED THE BRONX SO IF U GOT PAC ON THERE BIGGIE BETTA BE ON TERE TO

You want overrated go look at T Pain since his single Sprung how can you not say anything about that synthesizer voice sound like someone who needs to be on side of the road for early morning pick up by a truck (garbage for the slow ) this post is clearly for ratings and for the fact of overrated each generation had something to contribute to the music we listen to now we must look pass the judgement how ironic one of Pacs last songs while alive was “Only God Can Jugde Me” now someone smaller then themself is doing just that when do we as human stop put down someone reguardless of what is and look to what is important bigger then this help someone it crazy most these people on this have been featured with someone or had someone featured on there albums if someone feels the this person may hurt the sale of a record could just impact that person life think of the bigger picture we can make a differences what are you going to do to help not hurt . Hence the crisis that is faced with most people in amereica this is a wake up call be the change funny how we voted for that yet slow to do it our selves real talk

Tupac shouldn’t be here he is and was the greatest rapper ever no matter if he’s alive or not . if he was alive he would take over. u need 50 cent, lil flip and tpain they all suck. the other rappers on the list suck too especially bow wow and solja boi what the hell r people thinkin. listen to my tracks and let me know what yall think http://www.myspace.com/midwestricans

OMFG!
Did you REALLY say TUPAC was overrated when even in todays’ music he is one of (if not the only) rapper(s) to speak of relevant things such as abortion, God, women’s issues, and our race in general?
He’s a KING and if he were alive 7 of the other 9 listed wouldn’t even have had a chance…show some respect! Pac was the greatest!
And then after him is Bone Thugs N Harmony!
And stop hattin on Nelly…with his fine ass! lol

why is pac in here? obviously the person who made this bulls**t don’t know s**t about hip hop music and anyone who agrees pac should be here is just as DUMB!!!!

I agree with Tu-Pac to some point. I thought he was a good rapper, but never phenomenal. I did think his poetry was better than anything he ever put on wax.

Lil Wayne? Are you f*cking crazy? He is EXCELLENT. A wordsmith. He has excellent flow timing and is a performer and entertainer. But his words look just as good on paper as they sound in record. And who even compares?

Saying that about Soulja Boy is a waste of time. He never was a lyricist and never pretended to be. He is an entertainer through and through and has always been true to himself. He is the best at what he does. Nelly is in the same boat.

I don’t know anything about asther roth and not much about Rick Ross, so I’ll leave that alone.

Plies truly is garbage.

I never liked Jim Jones, Bow Wow, or Fat Joe much when they first came out. But they consistently improve (especially Fat Joe and Bow Wow, have you heard Bow Wow’s freestyles?) so I won’t call them lame yet. It’s too early to tell.

Everybody taking it so personal! Dear Mama was nice but come on! he was revolutionary he was a good entertainer who ever now and then rapped about something important. Whats revolutionary about “I get around”?

Dude I’m starting to think you and 50 are sleeping with one another. 50 can’t rap, and is the most over-hyped individual ever in the game. yet and still he doesn’t make your list, but the people he’s beefing with does. Lil wayne gets props from everyone in the industry but some magazine rappers that cannot rap says he’s not that hot. Really? Rick Ross is on the list how I do not know. You must not have listened to his last cd. And Fat Joe is another rapper who isn’t great, but he’s better than your boy 50.

50 does belong on this list!

Lil Wayne raps about nothing! NOTHING! thats cool sometimes but not ever verse. When he feature’s on people song i have a hard time trying 2 figure out how is it relate 2 the song hes on!

Ya’ll some ignorant MUTHAF**KA’S if you think Pac is overrated. That’s the dumbest s**t I have ever heard! Whoever wrote this s**t need’s their f**king face pushed in. Learn ya Hip Hop B***h!

OK SO YOU STILL THINK PAC SHOULD BE ON HERE…THEN PUT BIGGIES WACK ASS ON HERE

Theres no need 2 drag Biggie in this! LOL

U DUMB AS F$$$ HOMIE.PAC?PAC MADE ALBUMS WHEN HE WAS HERE N BIG HAD 1 DAT CAME OUT WHEN HE WAS HERE,NOT EVEN CLOSE.

I’m wondering how was this list made…Does anyone know?

@DA_UNDERDAWG…OK SO WHO’S YOUR FAVORITE RAPPER THEN?…ME PERSONALLY I DON’T HAVE ONE

this whole list is wack someone got bored and need a life

Naw the list was voided soon as I saw Pac

If Tupac lived??? What kinda s**t is this to even put him in the ranks of folks of today? That’s like comparing girl groups from the 60s to girl groups of today. Respect the era of the artist. You would not have written this crap back when Tupac was alive. His sales speak for themselves and for the record, Tupac still makes $- from his grave. How many of these other rappers, overrated or not will be ‘relevant’ from the grave? Go figure. Putting Tupac on this list was a bunch of bull. Rap shouldn’t be all about shooting and calling women *&^%$ and $%^&. That’s like saying Run DMC, Kool Moe Dee, LL Cool J and all others didn’t make their marks in rap and it started with those cats and they didn’t start out rapping about none of this disrespectful shiznit of today. How many songs do we need about black on black crime, dudes disrespectin’ women and dudes running from cops?? Da hell with this article all because of the lack of rationality with puttin’ Tupac in here. This person who wrote this ka ka should be rated as one of the most overrated journalist to work for a bp site, fa real- fa real but this article is crap!!

Man u crazy 2 put 2pac on there u dam u crazy

Its really 2 hard 2 say i like Kanye, T.I., Biggie, Jay-Z, Eminem, 3000 is crazy, im from new orleans so Juvi and Mystkal! Canibus, NAS cant even front i was a big Ma$e fan(i did say was) Kurupt, Fabolous, Uncle Face, KRS-1

hold up, wait a damn minute…yall are insane….i agree with plies, rick ross, fat joe, wayne, nelly, even bow wow and soulja boy- but pac doesnt belong on there. im a biggie fan but pac isnt as over rated as none of the rest of the lames on the list. and wayne isnt as bad as yall makin his gay ass out to be. he might be a crackhead,c**ksuckin,syrupsippin, lame….but the boy got a lil flow….and for the ignorant b***h that said biggie belongs…..u sound dumb. they said overrated mc’s and biggie is a beast. his 15 year old songs sound better than plies’ new s**t. im just glad they aint put my dude gucci on the list. that woulda pissed me off. all is one.

If lil wayne died tomorrow with all the mix tapes he makes his music will sell even when hes dead!

This is the most irrelevant list I have ever seen here majority of the ppl on here are the ppl that are keeping rap alive. Where the hell is 50′s wack butt. 2Pac is the most influential rapper that has ever lived. Lil Wayne is the baddest thing out and so is Rick Ross. All 50 does is talk crap where are his record sales? 50 needs to be on here point blank.

You people are NUTS! I don’t know who came up with this list but you need help for real! Why!?!?! Because you had the audacity to put 2Pac on this list! I wasn’t even a fan of the dude, but he definately is NOT overrated. The “Urban Daily” has officially lost its credibility….if it had any.

I agree, Tupac shouldn’t be on there. But Dude is BUGGIN’ saying Biggie should be on the list because Tupac was. Just Crazy!!! As far as Lil’ Wayne… C’mon and be real!… His shhh SUCKS!!! Anyone can rap about how, now, pow, wow over a Hot @ss A Millie beat! LOL… Don’t get Real Hip-Hop mixed up with Rap. Anyone can Rap! Just as Soulja Boy! Wooowwww!!!

oo hell no. first off. rip big and 2pac. NOW….. YES THIS IS ON CAPS MY DUDE. PAC HAS NO REASON BEING UP THERE PERIOD. THATS MAD DISRESPECTFUL. YALL NEED TO TAKE PAC OUT THAT ONE HES ONE OF THE BEST RAPPERS DEAD OR ALIVE MY DUDE.

-Kostco-

wow, they put tupac up there?? nooooo he is the best of all time. anyway wanna chat more bouthip hop join my group Hip Hop movement

Lol…this lil blog or whatever they want to be considered as is got to be a joke. BlackPlanet must have had to layoff folks and created this bulls**t column to save someone’s job…because the most inaccurate, ignorant, and unbelievable articles keep on popping up here lol.

they put tupac in that?? hell nall!! he is the best of all time… way better then Biggie. but u know its biast toawads New York. If it aint New york it aint hip hop to some people.

Join My hip hop movement group

Short and simple, Somebody deserves a SMACKIN for putting PAC on this list!!

Surely they just did that to get more hype to this post.

i agree with most of your list but pac have you listen to, if i die tonite, f**k the world can u get a way,so many tears
flows like ghetto poetry. “i grow up amoungs a dying bread”
“broken hearted as glance at the chalk line getting high” tupac was a poet the beat made him a rap star

I agree with most of the list except for weezy and Pac…Pac? are you serious, no flow? thats the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard. To answer the question, hell yea he’s be as great if he were alive. One, when he was here he was still above nas, jay, and everybody else…only biggie was a challange. Two, best believe your favorite rapper has borrowed he’s rhymes and beats. Three, he did more for hip-hop the rest of the rappers out there. I love Nas and Jay…but they didnt get too much lime light till Pac and big were gone….If you really wanna say all that about him the lets look at Biggie..he had, umm 2 Albulms wich one was a classic but the second one coulda used work, second disc was garbage (2 disc albulm), he got his swagg from Jay…yes jay-Z, Pac schooled him to the game. WHy he not on the list?? He’s in my bottom top 5 but lets be fair….I guess we can just throw anybody in the list huh

2pac gets so much love because of what he represents. I think ppl confuse that with just how talented he was. When rating artist and deciding whos overrated its skill vs. hype the reason 2pac is overrated IMO is his hype exceeds his talent hes so well respected but i think that respect is based on 2pac “the legend” and not 2pac “the recording artist”
this blog is about peoples ability 2 rhyme vs the publicity they get thur out there career

@DA-UNDERDAWG…YEA I KINDA SEE YOUR POINT YOU TRYING TO MAKE..AND ALL THEM NIGGAS YOU NAMED EARLIER NICE ON THAT MIC..AND WITH ME BEING FROM LOUISIANA(BATON ROUGE)FEEL YOU ON JUVI AND MYSTIKAL…CAN’T WAIT TO MYSTIKAL GET OUT…I BET HE LAY IT DOWN

wow 2pac was one of the greatest rapper that has ever hit the world whoever put him on that list is someone who has never really listed to him cuz pac was cold and if he was alive alot of these sorry ass rappers wouldnt be out like rick ross and soulja boi…

I AGREE WID ALL EXCEPT TUPAC AND WAYNE…TUPAC’S RAP WAS WAAAY DIFFERENT..HE TOLD STORIES AND HE WAS SO VERSATILE..HE COULD B HYPE 1 MIN AND CHANGE 2 SOFT AND STILL B GOOD..AND WAYNE..IS WAYNE WHO EVER MADE DIS HAS NO SENSE

@ Flyvirgo
Yea im glad you see what im talking about I luv Pac like everybody else!

And yea he in there on some bullsh!t. I hope he hook up with the right ppl when he get out. Like Manny Fresh or somebody he’ll blow alot of other dudes out the water!

Pac was a good lyricist but his content was dry. I wasnt a fan. But artist like the Wu Tang and Nas and Mos Def and Talib Kweli are and should be at the top. The Pac and Biggie bandwagon is too big for me to get on.

WHO IN DA F**K PUT 2PAC ON DIS LIST? 2PAC HAD MORE HITS THAN ALL DESE OTHERS COMBINED BESIDES WAYNE…2PAC N BIGGIE SET DA STANDARDS 4 DA 90′S. PAC IS DA TRUTH…HIT EM UP..

I feel them on some of those guys but Tupac is a great and will always be a great. They ain’t feeling real gangsta rap from back in the day….Damn these youngsters

@DA_UNDERDAWG…YOU ALREADY KNOW

I agree with most of the list except for Pac…Pac? are you serious, no flow? thats the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard. To answer the question, hell yea he’s be as great if he were alive.

WHy he not on the list?? He’s in my bottom top 5 but lets be fair….I guess we can just throw anybody in the list huh

I compare 2pac 2 soulja slim. There wasnt an artist that was more real then slim had a bunch of songs i liked ,but when he died he legacy grow 10x what it was. Slim wasnt the greatest lyrist but still niggas(down here anyways)felt like they lost a biggie or a pac. Using a line from the games most underrated rapper “You know died rappers get better promotion” Jadakiss if you didnt know!

I am SO SO SO glad that Lil Wayne. Jim Jones, and Soulja Boy are on this list. I don’t know many of the others since I stopped listening to mainstream music a long time ago. This whole era is garbage. Real hip hip is Rakim, Mos Def, Taalib Kwali, K-Solo, Nice-n-Smooth, Tuff Crew, YBT, Kool G Rap AND I can go on.
Bring back the pioneers and let them school today’s folks on true hip hop.
Tupac should not be on this list.

wrd that list is correct….probably change up the line-up a lil but its accurate doe….2pac shouldnt b on dat list…instead of 2pac I would have listed gucci mane or suttin…lmao!

yoooooo why is tupac on this list??? thas juss out of control!!!!!

HELL YEA! SOULJA WAS A DOG…I NEVER REALLY MET HIM PERSONALLY BUT HE USED TO BE IN B.R. ALOT..EVERYBODY TOOK THAT S**T REAL HARD WHEN HE GOT KILLED

pac was the best rapper hip hop has ever seen. he wasn’t overrated, he was the f**kin truth

Wait! You put Lil’Wayne and Tupac on the list??

WTF!I think your full of bull! Do you really listen to Wayne or Pac or is it because you cant comprehend the genius behind their lyrics that makes you give up?

And How could you diss Pac for being dead??? No one knows what he could have become if he hadn’t died — oh, wait! We do the albums and books of poetry since his “demise” all solidify his place as a lyricist.

I find this article disrespectful.

Lost ur mind puttin Tupac up there…tsk tsk tsk…and uh I love Lil Wayne its not what he’s saying its how he says it and how it sounds overall… Plies is ok too…You need to make a new list cuz Ive heard worse.

Whoever put Pac on this list should be shot.

Fat Joe is a legend, he should not be on this list either (not even detailing why…)

everyone else i could care less for. They got props for making hot singles not classic albums. Again whoever made this list should be shot, not killed but shot its pointless. Thank you!

jim jones and soulja boy are garbage

@laidback hustle
I think your facts are all wrong! Nas had his 1st album in 94 be rated a 5mic project! Biggie had his swag in 93-94 before he ever worked with Jay. Jigga 1st album drop in 96′ and he was Jaz-o protege. And yea Pac advised Biggie but i alot of people close 2 them thought that Pac was jealous of Biggie and the respect he had 4 being a street nigga(now i dont know how true this is just something i saw on a doc. i saw about there lives)

That BS lis has tohave been written by president of the haters club. Yeah iI agree some of the rappers on your list dont have a lick of skill and are a figment of radios Imagination. Be that as it may 2Pac was and is in a whole different Bracket. You must be a Pac hater Dude had skills and paid bills and is a legend. Who gets a job writing on internet blogs? Hell give me a job or at least get rid of this hack! Yeah Wheres Gucci Mane?

dats messed up you got 2pac, one of the greatest mcs to touch the mic, as the most overated? you suck

plies, rick ross, weezy and tupac(are u serious??) do not need 2 be on that list

Gucci man isnt relavent thats why hes not on this list. Once again not that im standing up for anybody THIS IS AN OVERRATED LIST NOT A TRASH LIST!

Yo whoever made this list did a good job son. Only with Fat Joe, I still think Fat Joe is nice son but he wen’t too commercial for me. But other than that yo the list was perfect. I’m sick of Plies and I’m sick of Ross and Wanye. 50 should’ve been in the list I say. And I hate when mother f**kers say I’m hating on these f****ts. This has nothing to do with hate its all about skills son. Put your skills on the table and break the mic. I was offered a DefJam deal so I know skills when I hear them son. Not trying to brag but thats just how it is. Make some music that can reach out and touch somebody, give back to the community with your own money and not no loan from the bank. Teach the children how to stay in school and be something positive son na mean.

ok first of all tupac doesnt belong on this list and yes if he lived he will still have the same respect becasue people still play his music now and he still gets his props and lil wayne and bow wow are cool to so make a new list

i mad at the haters that put pac on there, you cant take nothing from pac no matter what. wayne he ok he don’t be saying much but it sounds pretty good, plies just to real in some cases. the hell with everybody else…..

Now half of the list is correct, but Tupac???? Tupac set the tone for what we now call gansta rap. Now day’s all we hear is tales from other people hoods, Tupac lived the hood..No studio gansta.. Now I want to say a little something on Mr. kanye west, Back in 2000 Mr. West made a statement after the awards about, and I quote” If I wasn’t gonna get an award I shouldn’t have wasted my time”. Now. You was nominated in all the catagories that Mr. Usher was in, but Usher was the hottest thing smoking at the time, and any cd, or single he released went 3*platnum. You may have gone gold, Maybe..So down south we took it very personnel, Because the south took the music world over, dont mean you disrespect, they worked just as hard or harder than you. We have love for MUSIC, no matter where it originate from, Jay Z, Wu Tang, Jim Jones, Biggie, Camron, Etc. They all get love in the south, but his s**t (Kanye) get’s no play down here unless he has colabed with someone. When Three 6 Mafia won a grammy you had no love. You a wanna be legend..Dont forget, you didn’t sign with Motown Records, so the next biggest music hall of fame is in Macon,Georgia..Plus if he don’t colab with someone your lyric’s are lame. Last time I checked, your last ablum was -10,000 below platnum. He alway’s trying to be in the limelight. You have a great mentor, MR. JAY Z. You should take note’s, because he will go down as a legend, not from the limelight, but for the lyric’s he bring’s to the game..

tupac…… overated?????????? NAWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!! must be partial to the east coast! Pac was far better than the BIG in terms of lyrical content.

For anyone to say Pac was overhyped!!! Has to be a complete idiot!!! Who ever picked Pac should be banished from the states and fired!all the other ones were on except fat joe

I totally think that Soulja Boy and all tha young cats that try to sound like him need to be placed in the garbage!! They aren’t real hip hop!! They just in it for tha money!! We need more cats like Nas, Dead Prez, Talib Quali, Mos Def!! Where Ya’ll at?! I agree with tha list. Ya’ll did a good job!

PAC!?!?!?!?!?!?!? WHO DA F*CK MADE THIS LIST……………

there should be more than 10 most overrated MC’s..all the MC’s in the game now are overrated..i agree with everyone on the list expect for Tupac..and substitute him with Jay-Z.
omg i thought I was the only person that believe Wayne was the wackest rappers to EVER rap..he makes NO FREAKING SENSE.everytime i says he was to anyone people get offeneded..even worse they call him “The KING of Hip-Hop”..lmfao thats a dis to HIP-HOP and all the GOOD MC’s like Big Daddy Kane,Rakim,MC Lyte .etc..i dont need to go futher I might school people on here..lol and im only 18..i know what really Hip-Hop is..lol

(Hip-Hop)OLD SCHOOL>>NEW SChool(Rap)

i love poc take him off da list

take tupac, wayne and ross off of here, f**k everybody else and si jus read some dumb ass dude’s comment, this fool said wayne hasnt put out a good album since get off the corner, what the f**k was he thinking ……

Finally….Someone exposed Soulja Boy…he’s one of many cancers killing Hip-Hop

Wow!! I thought I was trippn when I saw Pac on the list!! I began to question myself like, “Was I trippn? Was Pac really overrated?” The answer? HELL NO!! Half of these niggas wouldn’t be s**t if Pac hadn’t passed. Everything happens for a reason and maybe Pac’s dying was the reason why sum of these “roody poo’s” can even stake claim on a piece of the rap game! I kow that hatin seems like the thing to do, but don’t do it like that my nigg…

2pac better than big? thats a debate,but pac had more passion for the music than big,but he wasnt lyriaclly better than big,but they had 2 differnt styles. pac was more about real issues,big was more about flossing,so they were musically on different levels.jim jones ,bow wow and plies are ALL TRASH for the simple fact they dont have true skills.im not hating because they pretty boyz,but they dont roc the mic like jadakiss or andre 3000,real hip hop artists.fat joe isnt that trash,he had some alright joints,i seen worse than him.lil wayne? i know some of yall are on his dick and gonna say “hes the best rapper alive”,but cmon man,u really think he better than hov? do u think lil wayne can eat ludacris or jadakiss? hell no!nelly always been trash,he lost to krs-1 in a battle. soulja boy is another modern day bow-wow,his flame will go out when he hits 18.just like kriss kross,they novelties while they young. rick ross? i dont think he overated,i dont see nobody better then him in florida at the moment.

I DONT KNOW WHO PUT THIS BOO BOO DA FOOL TYPE S**T UP ON HER BUT,PLIES AND WEEZY SPEAK FROM THE STREETS! ON PLIES’BEHALF,THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH MAKING RECORDS FOR THE LADIES..U CAN STILL BE HOOD AND KNOW WHAT THE LADIES WANT! WEEZY MAKES MUSIC THAT MAKE UR BRAIN WONDER,THAT WHY PPL DONT UNDERSTAND IT! ITS CALLED “METAPHORS” PPL!IF PAC IS HAVING GREAT SUCCESS WHEN HE’S NOT HERE,WHAT MAKES U THINK HE WOULDNT IF HE WAS HERE??HE WOULD BE PUTTING OUT WAY MORE ALBUMS AND A LOT OF ARTISTS WOULD BE EAGER TO WORK WITH HIM!ROSS…HE’S HUMAN! ITS HIS LIFE! I DONT GIVA A FUK ABOUT WHAT HE’S IN DENIAL ABOUT OR WHAT MISTAKES HE MADE OR IF HE’S MOVING WEIGHT OR NOT! WHO FUKIN CARES! AND THAT MUTHAFUKIN BABY MAMA OF HIS IS A MONEY HUNGRY,SLIMY GRIMY BIOTCH!THEM OTHA MUTHAF**KAZ ON THIS LIST BELONG HERE! BOW WOW…FAT JOE…MESS!NELLY..DONT KNOW HOW HE GOT ON..SOULJA BOO!SAME S**T, DIFFERENT DAY!JIM JONES..DIP-SAY-WHAT! JUELZ IS THE ONLY DELIVERER!MAN DAT S**T CRAZY! LOL

yall have no manners 2PAC IS THE GREATEST BIGGIE WAS OKAY PAC HAD FANS WORLDWIDE COME ON YALL SHOULD HAVE SOME RESPECT I AM UPSET AT THIS VERY

I agreed totally with the list until I got to number 10. Now I must say, that they did kinda overdo it after Pac died…producing all those tracks after he was no longer with us….but to say he was overrated? To say that he wouldnt be as great if he had lived? 2Pac was one of the MOST influential rappers of all time….if not the MOST influential…Now, I dont agree wit all that he was sayin and all that he stood for and represented…..but you gotta give the man his props….Tupac Shakur is a LEGEND!

Yo my peeps, I love Pac as much as everybody else, but I have been saying that had he lived he would’ve been done fell off. He’s not overrated for the time he reigned but he is on the assumption that if he were here today he’d still be running this. Nelly was always too damn pop for me(but fine though). I was a Weezie fan but again…..going too pop. Soulja boy should’ve never made an album period. For the most part, the list is on point…overlooked 50

I know yall done lost yall damn minds, tupac was and always will be one of the greatest, i dont know who wrote this list but tupac, and lil wayne do not belong on here, yall just done fall and bumped yall damn heads

WUT DA F**K WRONG WITCHA’LL?!?!
WHY DA F**K WOULD YA’LL PUT 2PAC AS ONE OF DA MOST OVERRATED MC’s??!! DAS SUM HOE ASS S**T MAYNE!! WHOEVA HAD DA IDEA OF TAWKIN DOWN ON HIM NEEDA SUCK A DOGG DICK AND DIE!!! 2PAC’s STILL AND ALWAYS WILL BE DA BEST, DEAD OR ALIVE!!!
F**K WUTCHA’LL TAWKIN BOUT!!

MAN!!!! Ya’ll so wrong for Lil Wayne and most importantly 2 Pac. That man help start a whole new movement in hip hop and yes if he was still alive he would be sitting on top of the world.. Come on now be for real. The music he prerecorded is hittin’ with the music today.. If you’re going to put pac on here u should’ve put biggie too!!

that f**kup that pac on that list he is the best big should be on that f**k list if pac on that list so f**k this list is pac on it

Dumb,TUPAC is the greatest ever. Only rapper adored by both male n female/. Only rapper seen as the hardest n yet most sensitive n conscious at the same time. HOW DUMB HAVING HIM ON THIS LIST.He would be thirty eight,he wouldnt need to rap if he was here but he would have left his mark. Amazing JayZ was rappng then,but until Tupac’s death(along with BIG),he was irrelevant!

Eff the bastard that put Pac on that list. Pac was and is not overrated. You don’t know what would have happened if he had lived. Your article just shows you lack creativity and you know little about the hip hop culture you pessimistic flunky. Lil Wayne should not be on there either. He might be a druggie and a bad influence but he is one of the most requested artist on other’s albums. He makes good chill and club music for thugs and ladies. I barely know J.Jones or Asher Roth. Soulja Boy was garbage from day 1. I hate Plies and the garbage lowlife women that on the Bust It Baby auditions, disrespecting and embarrassing themselves along the way. Rick Ross OK. The rest of them just fell off.

I’m Old Skool. To even suggest that Tupac was anywhere near being overrated, is to reveal that you have absolutely NO IDEA OF WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT. I’d guess the same person would put Kanye West in the top ten. lmao If Tupac was still in the game, the game would still have credibility and none of this circus clown music would be out now. He would have squashed that stuff.

I wonder why the author didn’t put his or her name here. Is this what the Urban Daily call good work? Where is the supervision? The Urban Daily is probably some office in the basement of some dusty building with a whole bunch of amateur writers that failed to get real jobs at better places.

Damn haters.

First off ya’ll wrong for even puttin Tupac in the category of these other men. Most of them look up to Pac!!! Second of all Tupac had lyrics. His flow was tight. He was that dude. And if he was still here he would still be that dude. Ya’ll are damn there on the DISRESPECTFUL side!!!!

Okay for starters, WHO THE F**K IS ASHER ROTH!!!?….secondly, Fat Joe and Nelly have nothing to prove…and ummm….i’m sorry….did this DICKHEAD have the balls to atually put, of all people, TUPAC!!!, on this list list? this is exactly what I’ve been saying about how this generation will NEVER know what REAL rap is about…because of uneducated MORONS like the ones who wrote this “article”….you have f**king GOT to be kidding me. You’re gonna say someone who pretty much RESHAPED the face of what rap currently is today…someone who damn near EVERYBODY is trying to emulate…someone who will NEVER go out of style….someone whose message is STILL having meaning NOW…is actually over-rated?….Look ASS…if Pac would be over-rated today, explain how the dude’s songs are STILL hitting more than EVERY ONE of these “rappers” on this list….how about you clowns THINK before you put together a topic….this cornball is the poster child for the idiots who think old school is BIGGIE………….speaking of which…..if tupac is on this list….THEN S**T!!!…..WHY THE F**K ISN’T BIGGIE!?!?!…..

Aww everyone stop being butt hurt about PAC being on this list. I miss him to but damn all the damn tracks after he died and the songs that everyone else did with him. S**t Let it go already. Some people are missing on this list. Trick Daddy, Lil Romeo, Kanye West is real close right now with the new fruity ass image, How about J.D., snoop even. All im saying is this is not a real list quit b***hin.

CAN I PLEASE B***H SLAP WHOEVER THE F**K MADE THIS LIST?? TUPAC DOES NOT DESERVE TO BE ON THIS S**T…WOULD HE HAVE BEEN THAT GREAT IF HE LIVED??…YOU’RE RIGHT THE ANSWER IS NO HE WOULD HAVE BEEN EVEN GREATER!!…HOW DARE YOU..YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT THAT MAN COULD HAVE DONE IF HE HAD LIVED OR WHERE HE’D BE…STUPID AZZ MA’F**KAZ
TUPAC WAS A BEAUTIFUL MAN INSIDE AND OUT WITH THE ABILITY TO HELP CHANGE THE WORLD…HE WAS GREAT HE STILL IS GREAT AND HE ALWAYS WILL BE
LIL WAYNE SHOULD NOT BE ON THIS LIST EITHER
THE REST I DON’T REALLY GIVE A DAMN
FAT HOE BEEN WACK SINCE FOREVER

dis article is wack. 1st of all tha writer is hatin hard aint he? plus dis cud have been alot betta if it was a survey of wat people had ta say, not his opinions. dis is really bad jornalism. boo.

i dont care if your old school or new school … if your a hip hop head then its blasphemous to put TUPAC in a list of overated rappers. His storytelling swag and the emotional depth that he took his songs have yet to be duplicated . sure several rappers have attempted to mimic his qualities but nobody can be tupac. there was only one. Thats why he was adored so much …. rappers envy pac’s legacy.

Hold up,though I may read this bulls**t I don usually comment on it. But when I saw this herb putting Tupac on the same level as soulja boy and bow wow I felt I had to put a G standpoint in. I dont expect everyone to be from the streets; even though most dummies think that is whats in, but if you never had to hustle,rob or steal to survive…how do you judge a mans heart…and hip-hop is about heart…there are certain dudes that are in the rap industry that are really from the streets..ie. L.O.X.,50 Cent, Jay Z,T.I, Jeezy,Scarface,and so on.These dudes know how to make it on nothing,the person writing that article knows nothing about a gram or 1/4 key of nothing…so f**k them when it comes to a dude I can relate to. tupac was a true leader. How many of you all know how old him or B.I.G were when they were slain? They were still in their 20ies..early twenties. Way before their time..if a person knows anything about Hip-Hop, or the streets they will respect them…..Like I said I wouldnt usually comment on this trash but the mainstream takes it to far sometime….F*ck it and whoever dont agree….

i want to f**k u up for put pac on this list

Tupac is definitely not garbage. I have no clue as to what made you write his name down. You must be a hatter or a Biggie (who I liked too)lover. Don’t let that beef between the two coast sway your pen my friend. I thought you were gonna name some one hit wonders. Pac did it again and again and again…

Finally…somebody aint huggin all on Wayne d*ck lol….but Pac shouldn even b on here tho…and how can u ask if he woulda been as hot if he was still alive, u dnt kno tha answer 2 dat either…

You must be crazy for putting Tupac on this list..This list is garbage, and so are you. Do your research, before you talk about the man like that.

ALL I CAN SAY IS HELL NAW!! I CAN’T BELIEVE YA’LL HAD THE NERVE TO PUT TUPAC ON HERE! HE IS AND WILL ALWAYS BE ONE OF THE BEST RAPPERS!! [DEAD OR ALIVE I DON'T CARE WHAT ANYONE HAS TO SAY!] AS FOR THE REST,, I CAN AGREE, EXCEPT LIL WAYNE,, [DONT GET ME WRONG! HE'S DEFINITELY OVERRATED] BUT WHEN YOU SELL THAT MANY ALBUMS, & HAVE THAT MANY FANS, THERE IS NO REASON WHY YOU SHOULDNT BE CONSIDERED ONE OF THE BEST

I’M WAYYYYY DISAPPOINTED,,
WE ALL KNOW DAMN WELL TUPAC IS THE SHYT!!!! HE WAS BACK THEN.. HE IS NOW.. AND HE WILL BE FOREVER! HE’S ALWAYS GONNA BE ONE OF THE BEST RAPPERS EVER!

R.I.P PAC..

Tupac should not have been on that list. I know who should have though…Notorious B.I.G. He is overrated. He did two albums and all of a sudden, he’s “The Greatest of All Time”. Give me a break! What did he do? He did two CDs and brought out Junior M.A.F.I.A. Where are they now? The only person that Biggie put on that did something was Lil’ Kim. Tupac was deep and diverse. he was more than just a rapper. He was a poet, an activist and an actor. If Tupac was still alive, there wouldn’t be any of these top rappers especially 50 Cent. 50 should be grateful that 2Pac is not around. He owes 2Pac for him having a career.

Pac wrote “all eyes on me” which is a double cd and legendary album in two weeks name a rapper that can do that.. BIG couldn’t even do that he should be on the list… two albums and he becomes the greatest you gotta be kidding me…”all eyes on me” sold more than both of his albums together…

I hear what you’re talking about as far as Soulja Boy, Plies, Bow Wow, Asher whatever his name is and Jim Jones. But I feel that everybody else is legit. Especially Lil Wayne being that he just won a Grammy. As far as Tupac I think you’ve lost your mind. Tupac has been dead for over a decade and people still listen to his music. He’s better than Kanye T.I. and Jay-Z combined. Jay-Z will never be a better MC than Tupac. Stop hatin on west coast rappers!!!

wow! Tupac really shouldn’t have been omn this list. i don;t ever leave my comments but ya’ll was way wacc for this one. Tupac was very influentically. He had hits back to back. he had so much music he still had albums coming out years after his death. i know who is overrated ya’ll way overrated! I’m not even bout to read ya”ll sh*t no more!

who wrote this bullsh!t..i can believe u even put pac in there category.. please do your research..u mention ti,kanye and not 2pac..they was wathin his videos wishin they were him..

oh yeah and lil wayne should have been number one and his fans r just as ignorant as he is Nas said it best “hip hop is dead”

People always talkin bout Pac bein overrated, how come I dont neva see biggie mentioned in the overrated category? Death doesnt make you a good rapper, plenty of rappers have died that arent any more popular than when they were living(big L, Big Pun, ODB, Soulja Slim) Pacs the s**t so give him his props.

I FEEL PAC SHOULDN’T HAVE BEEN ON HERE CAUSE IF HE WAS ALIVE HE WOULD STILL BE HOT PEOPLE STILL USE HIM ON THERE RECORDS LiL WAYNE HE TIGHT IN HIS OWN WAY SOULJA BOY AND BOW WOW NEED SOME TIME BUT THEY STILL SELLING RECORDS FAT JOE HE GOOD SO IS RICK ROSS

WOW PAC???? REALLY??? I GUESS Y’ALL KNOW Y’ALL FUCCED UP WIT THAT ONE… REAL TALK HE WASN’T JUST SOME RAPPER…HES WAS A TRUE LYRICIST…A POET…EVERY RAP HAD A SOUL…AS IF IT WERE BREATHING…HEMWAS THE SHYT…HOW DARE Y’ALL PUT HIM ON HERE

WOW PAC???? REALLY??? I GUESS Y’ALL KNOW Y’ALL FUCCED UP WIT THAT ONE… REAL TALK HE WASN’T JUST SOME RAPPER…HE WAS A TRUE LYRICIST…A POET…EVERY RAP HAD A SOUL…AS IF IT WERE BREATHING…HE WAS THE SHYT…HOW DARE Y’ALL PUT HIM ON HERE

I totally agree with the list my only complaint is that fat joe isnt eben important enough to be overrated although I do like him but his last album was a dud. And would yall get off tupac’s nuts. He only had 1 ball and yall are all hogging it. he was a hell of a rapper but I always have thought he was the most overrated mc of all time

Are you really serious about Tupac? You have really got to be kidding me. If homeboy was dropping records after he was gone, what makes you think that he would not be hot today if he was alive? I believe that Pac would have been the hottest lyricist alive. Check yourself on that one.

do u listen to music or do u just skim through it like i said I like pac but he aint the greatest of all time. He is great and he was very influential but Jay, Big, Nas, and even Pun in his prime would tear a hole in his ass

THIS FOOL PUT TUPAC!!! REAL!! SORRY BROTHA, JUST LIKE RICK ROSS, YOU LOST ALL CREDITABILITY WITH THAT LAST ONE HOMEY.

The Tupac comment was ignorant

all the people who would dare place pac on this list is an idiot. there is nothing more to say. it is not even worth debating

WHO EVER PUT THESE PICS UP IS RETARTED TUPAC IS ONE OF THE BEST RAPPERS TO EVER LIVE SO WHAT HE DIED BUT HIS S**T WAS THE F**KIN TRUTH AND LIL WAYNE S**T IS DEFINATELY HOT SO WHO EVER U GOT UR SORCES FROM R WRONG TUPAC IS THE BEST HANDZ DOWN CANT NOBODY TOUCH HIM FAITHFUL FAN OF HIS

To Everyone reading this:
UNDERSTAND THIS, The top 10 list of the most overrated MC’s is nothing more than just the OPINION of one or more people. Now I must say there are some on the list that I totally agree with, there are some that I totally disagree with. But regardless of who on this list that I or anyone for that matter, believes should or shouldn’t be on there, all of them have one thing in common. They have millions of fans who pay their salaries. So no matter how many people believe these rappers suck. Those people are outnumbered by the amount of people who believe they are actually good. And if this wasn’t true then these MC’s would have never made it to the top 10 list because they wouldn’t even be in the rap game to begin with. Personally I think that solija boy is the worst thing that could ever happen to the rap game, but this kid has sold over 3 million ring tones. If he only got 1 cent per ring tone, thats $30,000 for one damn song. thats more than some adults make in a year! So to sum it all up, its just like Hov said, Men Lie, Women Lie, Numbers don’t! So no matter how many people think they suck. It ain’t stoppin nothin cuz they are still gettin money and their gettin ALOT of it.

Agree totally on Soulja Boy and Lil’ Wayne, though I kind of ‘get’ him more than I like him. But how can you not include T.I. and Young Jeezy? Those are too of the most uncreative goofs in all of music.

Pac and Wayne shou never be on a list like this,who ever post this is LOCO…….

2Pac doesn’t belong on the list although I agree that his death has contributed to his legend. Tell me why anyone who loves Pac hates Biggie(people are easily influenced). Biggie is not the most overrated either. Lil Wayne Sucks!!! If I here one more jumbled wack verse I’m gonna puke. What is rap if you don’t have to make sense? Hip-Hop is dead because there are no young lyricists to replace the old ones(T.I., Jay-Z, Nas). That’s why cats on this list are relevant to begin with.

I can’t believe u would even go there with Pac. Pac would still be great because it’s his music that did it not the fact that he did. Pac is the truth. Wayne is garbage and always has been. Soulja boy aint nothing jus know how to make u move.

All u niggas need to stop hating on plies OMG and wayne does not sucK he is the BEST

whoever made this list has not list to the whole album of some of these rapper first foremost 2pac would still be hot if he was alive because he talk about his life and life on the street now plies and lil wayne just because lil wayne think outside the box don’t mean you can dis him like that and plies is goon s**t is hot he all over what people go thought and what they family have to deal with while the hustle so if you say you know rap music

these rappers are only overrated because their fans but them there so get off their jock thats all i have to say

2 pac and fat joe doesnt belong on this list

PAC!? ARE YOU SERIOUS

OMG i can’tbelieve this list. lol Pac. I am a bigie fan and i was shocked so see him there what are u smoking fo real. I think pac diss this person lol. I notice some jay z beefs made it here may be he is behand this lol. Fat joe has respect for a reason and lil wayn too but plies is over rated dude can’t really rap. May be jay z should be on this list what would he be witout Biggie’s lines and trying to suck his buddy ha. lol this is crazy list fo real.

this list is perfect,the only reason 2pac stayed were he was is because knight turned him into something he was not. he never had top of line lyrics that u never heard before. ice cube,and chuck d, and biggie were alot better. what the hell is wayne talking about,soulja boy is catching alot of silly kids he would have never made it out the door back in the 80′s or 90′s. bow wow should have quit at 15, he even looks silly and u know how sad he has to be to do a stupid song with soulja boy. nelly been done. plies just needs to step his game up. fat joe must be selling something because i can’t even remember seeing a CD cover for him ever.and how is jim jones on this list he has no hype, from what does he have hype from, he has no one fooled i didn’t even know people cared about him.

somebody’s a serious hater… go listen to that kingdom come bulls**t.. or maybe kanye’s love ballads….

somebody’s a serious hater, nigga got a couple of the game’s best on this list… you probably wanna go listen to that kingdom come bulls**t.. or maybe kanye’s love ballads….

man whoever you are u r a fool for having pac and lil wayne on this list. survey dumbest person in the world! you take the number one spot!

It’s this simple people this guy said PAC had no flow, come on the guys been dead 10 12 yrs and still the hottest thang ever!!!!!!!!!!!

well every rapper that came out after tha year 2000is wacc, an some that came out before, meanin lil wayne, but most rap is bulls**t now

u a straight ass hater!!! dont eva talk about 2pac nigga..dumb azz!

Who are you are you really need to rethink your knowledge of rap, of hip hop period. You have some of the world best lyricist on your list. They speak truth and metaphor that I guess people like you are not ready for. I mean be serious with yourself.

And to Mister ChrisWF, you are an idiot also! Guess the WF stands for what the fucc are you thinking. Suge turned Pac into something he wasn’t, he never had top notch lyrics, Cube and Biggie were better? Dawg you can’t be serious, guess you really don’t know shyt about Pac, like most of those that try to criticize him. First of all Pac was already a complex character before he joined Death Row, and yes Suge was trying to make him into a one dimensional cookie cut gangster rapper; which is one of the main reasons Pac was leaving Death Row. Secondly, both Cube and Chuck D, gave Pac props on his social political flows, and said that his skill and ability to rap from the heart influenced them both to step up their game(look up old interviews they did on YouTube) And yes i admit lyrically putting words together Biggie was better, but Pac influenced Biggie’s work, and Biggie admits that in several interviews. Pac taught him how to make songs for the ladies because thats whose going to buy your album, It was Pac that told and showed him how to collaborate with other artist(Bone duet anyone) Even in death Pac influenced Big(Life after Death)Biggies whole mind frame changed in relation to Pac. Most importantly 2Pac is probably the only old school rapper whose lyrics still have meaning for today. Yes we have a black president (Thank God) but we still have most of the same problems now that Pac was rapping about 10 yrs ago. And one of those problems is small closed minded haters, Mister ChrisWF

hhhmmm… i guess for you the rappers that speak in metaphor about real life issues no just bulls**t is too much for your tiny brain…. Pac? really? he influenced so many ppl not just rappers to go thru life with they head up doin what they want or had to do to not only live but follow dreams… you need to go pick up all of pac’s albums and listen to them all of them and get a deeper understanding of the things thats hes sayin cuz most of the stuff he said back in the day in his music is still true thats why he is amazing and praised… wow… dude you need to re think some stuff

Come on!! How did u get permission to write? 2Pac overrated? Whoever let you get on needs to be fired. You need to read what you write before posting. I agree with some of you picks. But how u going to knock somebodies flow that has has been making millions over a decade after his death. Note to the editor: Read edit out the bulls**t. If there is no editor get one.

You’re right on all of them exepct 2pac i mean come on, he’s one of the greatest that ever lived a true prophet. Everybody else is wack, you should’ve put another lame rapper like dro, jock, 50, llyod banks, the whole gunit crew

Most of these cats make car music or kiddie music. This is all street anthem music. Pac could be the only exception, but realize the s**t we hear from him is stuff he did not want on his own CD when alive. He is marginal, but that is because the world has a need to embrace the s**t released after his death. The rest of this list is true. Nelly is the worst on this list and wayne is entertaining , but he is no Kweli. Why we have now have no HIP HOP but rap and singing is now better then rap again. Hell my son embraces “old skool” and not these clowns and he is 16. Wonder why?

Now I agree on most of them, but I would say that Lil Wayne and Tupac are official… no matter how you slice it. And to anwser the question about Tupac would he be all that great if he was alive? I would say more than likely. The man is dead and still making hits with other artist… so you do the math!

That list is absolutely bogus.
Pac and wayne?

THIS LIST IS PERFECT ENOUGH. BUT PAC OVERRATED WHY LIE TO YOURSELF BECAUSE YOU NOT LYIN TO ME.LOL.YOU CRAZE.IM TALKN PSYCHIATRIST CRAZY.YOU NEED HELP.

For yall to say that about Pac!!! U have never listened to any of his music when he was alive….as for the rest I agree.

I agree with it all and Please dont credit 2Pac as being a Prophet, Lets leave that to shirley ceasar.

I agree with most but, can u leave Tupac and Lil Wayne out of this. They really have good lyrics.

TUPAC SHOULD NOT BE ON THIS LIST,I AGREE WITH LIL WAYNE HIS S**T RHYME BUT MAKE NO SENTS.

You were doing fine……..untill you put 2pac and wayne on the list….you idiot!

To put 2-PAC anywhere close to the list is CRAP!!!! If you say that then I guess the Notorious BIG would not have been as great today either!!

I CANT BELIEVE THIS MUTHAF**KA HAD THE AUDACITY TO PUT TUPAC ON A LIST THAT GOT ASHER ROTH, SOULJA BOY, AND NELLY ON IT. WTF IN BOLD LETTERS!!!

That’s a pretty good list but you forgot 2 things.

1. It needs to be a top 100 list of Overrated MC’s. I could add 50 or so myself.

2. You forgot to put THEE most overrated “rapper” on there; eminem!

Pac? Cuz is tripping of dust or something.

I dont know what this cat was thinking when he decided to add wayne and pac… you gotta appreciate waynes word play and pac donated his stlye to the game….they coulda filled those spots quite easily but to me dude ended up making a fool out of his self

what the f**k are u serious who wrote this tupac and wayne cant make this list who are u listenin 2

who ever wrote this article need to be put in a electric chair set on fire and beat to a f**kin pulp for even putin pac on this list wtf who ever you are you need to just stick to country music

Who is little wayne better than in terms of mceeing minus all of the theatrics??? I mean, yall talkin up little wayne like he’s g-rap or rakim or something!

I agree with the list except for tupac. Even if you dont like Tupac as an individual you have to appreciate what he had to say. maybe his persona was blown up after his death maybe not but when it came down to it he was a great mc.

JIM JONES, LIL WAYNE AND TU-PAC COME ON BLACKPLANET…. I KNOW WHO EVER WROTE THIS IS PROBABLY NOT A HIPHOP FAN

PLIES, BOW WOW AND FAT JOE I CAN AGREE WITH

EVERYone On this list Deserves to be here! Pacs Flow is not at all Garbage like WAYNE and PLIES, But He Is VERY overrated, WHich is why he makes the list. If you can read. It says Most Overrated MCs, Of which pac is the most. I’m glad some one else can see that wayne and plies suck. I’m also Relieved to know there’s hope for soulja boys career to end soon!

f**k all yall for even sayin dat bulls**t tupac amaru shakur should not even be on that list.. period point blank he was better than everyone on that list. now souija boy belongs there period whomever voted to put tupac on there you musta been smoking dope and shootin up because everything tupac was sayin was and still is rite till this day…..there will never be peace

i dont think lil wayne should had been on that list he’s one of the best lyricst thats out right alongg wit T.I. Kayne etc. I do agree Plies albums are jus bout the same and and jones just a one hit wonder to me but over all there are some thats great and some just wack lol!

Everyone on this list deserves to be there except for Joey Crack. The guy has been coming out wit hits since early nineties, and I would say he’s actually one of the most under rated mcs ever, even though Im not feeling this new dirty south tip hes on now.

Lil Wayne and Pac on the same list as Soulja Boi and Plies????? WOW! Are you kidding me? This Article is an insult. I mean, WOW!

Ya’ll can ad 50 cent to that list too… Please… Thanks…

Ok This List Sucks….i do think wayne should be up there and take off Tupac…..why the hell 50 not up there i dont kno

FRANKLY, I DON’T CARE 4 ANY RAPPERS PER SE. TUPAC WAS A GOOD ACTOR AND AS FAR AS RAPPIN’ IS CONCERNED, IT CAN TAKE A LEAP OFF THE WASHINGTON MONUMENT AND I WOULDN’T MISS A BEAT. THEY TALK CRAZY AND DON’T TELL THE YOUTH TO GET THEIR BRAINS STRAIGHT. THE YOUTH NEED TO LOOK AT PRESIDENT OBAMA AND FEEL THE NEED TO QUIT TRIPPIN’!

lmfaoo @ lil wayne being a lyricist.. do what he does and pick up a dictionary.. tupac was relevant during his time and if he were alive I feel as though he would still be influential now.. 50 cent should have taken his place and should have been right beside rick ross just to piss his attention seeking behind off.
thats just my opinion..

Wayne should be on the list…He Dont Know If he wanna rap or suck T-Pain Dick…He still doin that singin thing which is gettin on my Dayumm Nerves…GO BACK TO 500 Degrees Wayne…WHEN U MADE SENSE

this list sucks. there were some good artists on there

i agree 50 should def be on this list, and take wayne off………….

Um….as far as Asher Roth is concerned. He was on a XXL cover. In fact it was the December Freshman Class of 2009 cover. And Tupac would be very relevant in today’s music. Right now Wayne should be number 1 on the list. Don’t get me wrong he’s good, but he’s on a pedestal I don’t think he should be on. Wayne’s material after the Drought 3 took a major dive IMO.

i agree with the list.. good work!

I agree with the list except for to Tupac and Lil Wayne.
Tupac was the greatest rapper ever. He wrote about real s*&# in the streets and about real issues like teen pregancy. Lil Wayne have some great hits that are instant classics that why the GAME worked with him.

That list I agree with except for Pac being on there. Pac was very versitile with his music unlike the rest of the garbage rappers/gimmicks on that list. Overall good list.

Most overrated list????The Urban Daily is not even rated….LMAO

Tupac is a martyr how could you even say that if i remember he was pretty popular when he was alive lil’ wayne was the bomb before he went super commercial

The Fact that yall would even put PAC on a list that has fat joe,soulja boy&nelly on it is….a shame,very sad.lol.Where’s gucci mane,shorty lo at?

Yall basiclly had the whole list correct untill you tarnished it putting tupac on it. he was the rap game he was the symbolic figure of what true artistry is in hip-hop there wouldent be any nas, or lupe or any other deep artist that made there trade mark in hip-hop if he did’nt lay that foundation for those rappers. any artist that has college courses on his material is not overated.and yes he would be great if lived today because when he was alive most of the artist coming out wouldent even get the chance to eat.

i agree with the list, except Pac, how dare them put him in that list… bastards!!!!

That list is no where near complete. Tupac had it going on…back then! But I’m so tired of hearing them damn old songs. Just let that s**t go! Lil’ Wayne is a little strange in his lyrics, but they come together to make some type of sense. Yes, Soulja Boy’s lyrics is HORRIBLE! Lol, but he’s catering to the younger crowd and he’s making feel good music. People just wanna dance and that’s what he’s helping them do.

[...] the new issue of Details magazine, Kanye West gets his full braggadocio on and reflects upon his self-described sexual addiction, which he says [...]

How could you even consider puttin Pac on this list? Whoever created this list had it right until I saw Pac. He’s the best to ever do it, biggest selling rapper of all time, most influential, most versatile. Somebody just hatin on Pac, ya’ll need to quit it.

I agree with the list especially Lil Wayne. This dude is waaaaay over hyped and I’ve said it since day one. However, WTF!!!! Pac, are you serious? I’m sorry but that’s gotta be the dumbest thing period. At first I was like damn this cat’s got good ears to be able to decipher bad from good. That all went down the drain when I saw Pac at the end. Gotta be the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard, seriously. Maybe the writer is biased against him or something.

WHAT A BULLS**T LIST! WAyNE? RosS? Haters. If you got ears and can follow a beat you know Wayne is nice. Even the Asher kid is cool and he aint s**t like Eminem. This s**t look like 10 people that are making money/buzz in the game still that 50 can’t Jarule. PAC?!?!? SLap Yo MOMMA for including one of the most influential, embraced Hip-Hop Artist of our lifetime. It was his work while alive that immortalized his art after he died. I never comment on these but GOTDAMN!

i really dont believe wayne is that overrated….and u should have had 50 cent on there but what in tha hell are u thinkin puttin pac on there u must be from tha east coast…if u put pac on there u shoulda put Biggie on there too…Ya whole list is irrevelant because you obviously dont have any type of musical knowledge whatsoever…How about we do a list of the 10 worst no name journalists and put u as all 10 lol idiot

ya’ll buggin seriously by putting tupac aand on the real fat joe too im not a hip hop head so to speak im a funksta but damn pac . now ya’ll hit the nail on the head with soulja boy he’s not what the hip hop game is about he is straight up a marketing ploy capitalizing on the kids and it is a sad state of affairs when a kid who knows nothing of the history of rap music gets on his computer and point and click some bulls**t like that this is the reason why in the future there will be no real black musicians no drummers key players or guitarists no black bands the only one i know is mint condition and lil wayne is overated he is mostly just hype and swagger lyrically he has some more growing to do but i give him waaaaaayyyyy more credit than soulja boy

WHAAAT?! PAC in this list i gotta agree with the others on this one……they really need to redo this list and take Pac off of it considering that most of his lyrics are influencial as compared to some of these supposed artist out there after Pac’s death i haven’t seen anyone come close to what he did i admit there are some that have potential to get close…but its a long road to travel.

Tupac?!! Are u kidding me?!! He isn’t considered one of the GREATEST OF ALLTIME 4 NOTHING!WEEZY IS NICE TOO AND RICKY ROSS IS NOT HIS REAL NAME! PLIES IS NOT THE REALIST HE JUS BELIEVE’S HE’S REAL’ER THAN STUFFED ANIMALS! LMAFO!!!

come on now …IF yall gonna talk about Tupac where is Notorious B.I.G. At …. I think Tupac shouldnt have been on here ….Tupac had more fame then Biggie…Tupac writes poetry, acting, and rapping…Tupac and Biggie was one of greatest rapper… You guys got the list all screwed up … I dont know why you guys make this…This is hot garbage!

yo check this out ya’ll this is probably to get a response from us readers by putting pac on it but if it is a joke…so not funny i do funk rock and hip hop and pac has influenced me as well as biggie when people think of hip hop icons the first two are usually tupac and biggie

i will agree that this list is somewhat vaild BUT there is NOWAY in hell Pac should be on this list!!!!!!!!!!!! now lil wayne has come along way, he’s hot right now, but this right here is a disrespect to all PAC fans everywhere, if anybody biggie should be on this list, cause if it wasnt for PAC biggie wouldnt have been who everybody proclaims him to be now.

Leave Tupac alone, he didnt belong on this list. I think that he still would have been hot.You cant compare rap today to a guy that died in the 90s, its not the same. And I don’t think that Wayne should have been on it either. But the other LAMES are right where they belong.

yall have lost yall mind!!!!! 2pac is tha bestest ever. lil’ wayne is tha best alive. so all that butt talk yall talking, smell like s**t!!!!

all ya ni99az is crazy kanye is the best rapper producer and singer alive this man is talented need 2 give him the props he deserve f**k pac lil wayn wayn used 2 get his raps from gillie the kidd he’s a c**k blocker ya digg holla at te 5 star don

This is soo ridiculous I had to comment a 2nd time. I mean dude, wtf made you put Pac in the likes of the rest of this garbage?!!! Forreal update this and change it cuz you are making yourself look like an idiot.

plies what can i say, he just real as it comes. he dont sugar coat anything, he tell it how it is. u got respect it!!!!

WERE YOU HIGH WHEN U PLACED PAC ON THIS LIST, EVERYONE ELSE I CAN UNDERSTAND, BUT TO PLACE PAC ON A LIST THE LIL WAYNE DUMB AZZ IS ON U MUST BE ON SUMTHING SPECIAL

Pac shouldnt Have Been On that list. BullSH**

come on now, rick ross is off tha chain!!!

kanye, ti, lil wayne all garbage. thas not hip hop. its hip pop. u wanna talk real mcs rakim, nas, pun, big l, krs,immortal, ill bill

[...] Entertainment, alleging that the company ran by Afeni Shakur has reneged on an agreement to sell 2Pac’s life rights for an upcoming film [...]

some bulls**t putting pac on this list

Listen I agree on 90% of what you said about most of those toilet water rappers…but you dropped the mic when you put Pac on their…Pac was what we needed growin up (minus the east coast vs. west coast drama)….So check yourself…

Who’d you people get to compile this list,obviously someone who doesn’t know anything about what’s going on? Pac, lil wayne, rick ross? Pleaaaaaaaaaase are you serious. I don’t believe in firing someone over writing but I do believe in administrative leave. Why wasn’t 50 added also. Take out “in the club hit” and you don’t have nothing he hasn’t sold anything since and if he didn’t have that “ONE” hit there would be no Vitamin Water, no big money, no endorsements, no nothing. 50 cent would be nothing without that “one crossover” hit. Without it nothing else would have followed. So he should have been added to the list. Lil’ Wayne sold a million records in one week and he’s on the list, Pac come on man someone didn’t know what they were doing because half the people on the list “run” hip hop as of today. So to the idiot who made this list go suck a fat one it’s obvious that you don’t know what the hell you are doing and are probably from the suburbs or something, get the f*&k out of here.

WTF???? Y the hell is pac on that list???

OMG…. They’re all good in their own way so leave’em alone! They’ve all contributed to the game somehow, therefore that makes them worthy. Who compiles these lists?

I dont think Pac should been on there…Rick Ross either…50 cent should been on there…he made all his money pickin beefs with other rappers

what in the hell are u smokeing get off the pipe man how in the world could u but pac on that list!pac is the altime great even in as he lays in his grave he still kicks ass on thet mike the man had more than one style and he had a lot 2 say and many ways 2 say it he could make u cry or make u mad as hell u should b smacked in the mouth 4 desing pac son

I agree with those who said Pac shouldn’t be up there. He was a great lyricist. The way music is today, I don’t know if he would’ve gotten the props as he should, because a lot of great lyricist from around that time aren’t getting the recognition they should. But, his music was great. He actually talked about LIFE in his music, or what I like to call, his poetry.

2pac buggs me. idk what makes him SOOOOOOOOO amazing!

who ever did this like need to be slap hard foreal 2 put wayne and pac on this list they crazy

no disrespect to your opinion but tupac was real. his voice was strong he talked about true life unlike some rappers today. tupac was one of the best rappers if he wasn’t people wouldn’t still by his material today. no one from the 90′s wants to spend money on garbage atleast people who have heard real lyrics who still bang to jay-z, outkast, ugk, biggie ect.

Wow…pac…who agreed with you when you posted this? Pac should not be up here put fifty ass up here that dude has been putting out straight garbage lately, never liked him anyway.Weezy shouldn’t be up there either put diddy’s crazy horse teeth havin’ behind up there.

2Pac is the greatest rapper of all time. Now stop smoking crack and take him off your list BEEOTCH!

Whoever grouped Tupac in with this list of lames should be drug out in the street and shot. Instead, 50 Cent needs to be on there. He lost whatever credibility and talent he had when he crossed over from mix tapes to the mainstream. Now, he’s just pop garbage. Blech.

yall all carzy the greatest rapper ever is and always will be big poppa

2pac? WOW, 2pac would have still been at the top of his game today if he was alive the question needs to be would some of these other rapper be as great if he was alive like jay-z or TI just to name a few.

woooaaaah..speachless.. PAC?!?!!! f**k is wrong wit yall.. u gon put pac in wit bow wow n soulja boy??.. yall must be outta ya damn mind.. pac was preachin.. how could ya put em on a list wit mr.superman-dat-hoe??.. he put meanin in his lyrics he was a poet and an activist.. how can u listen to pac and not feel his struggle.. he was eatn n breathn rap.. and yall wanna put em on a list with sum kids that dont take a min to sit down and put meanin in their tracks..a beat and a two bar hook..and these kids rush out da studio to get bacc to hangin out at da mall.. g’damn shame! take pac off da list.. rite now!…. n fa as lil wayne.. he is a gud rapper when it c**s to flow n metaphas.. but his lyrics ain bout nuthn but cash money n himself.. and when he try to make it a deep song..it goes wrong.. but he jus ain no poet and street prophet like pac.. he was n still is da greatest.. lil wayne is a gud rapper tho.. but pac cant b beaten.. so whoeva put em on da list needs to go n slap himself..

wtf! tupac used to spit real shytt! the others i agree but tupac is the last person to be put in consideration for this list. replace him with gucci mane and oj lol

OK I am OFFENDED (and pissed off to put it nicely). Why on God’s earth would you put the “Late Great” Tupac Shakur on the list with these bums??? That had to be the joke of the day. Tupac was a poet, lyricist and a MOVEMENT!!! He belongs in a category all of its own and that is LEGENDARY!!! Please don’t ever make a slip up like that again!!!

***As for the rest….I agree!

This is definitely WRONG. Of all people you go ahea d and put Pac and Lil Wayne on this s**t? NO NO NO. I’m not sayin that Wayne is the absolute best right now, but he is definitely ahead,wait…. WAY AHEAD of the f**kin game right now. And Pac. BOY OH BOY! Yall must’ve really been smoking when yall made this list. His music is amazing, always has been. Even the s**t that’s being chopped, screwed, and remade into something else is amazing. Its just him. One line of his can have a whole meaning. He always was rappin about something that actually meant something to people, blacc and white alike. And yes, even if he was still alive he would still be amazing. He would still be a definition of hiphop esecially cause he wasn’t one of these sucka ass niggas rappin about gettin p***y, get their dicks sucked, and about how much money he had all the time. (OCCASIONALLY YES) but not on a daily basis. SO yall need to fix this damn list yall made.

I can’t say much about the other artist on the list because I have not really dug deep enough to comment on them. But Tupac was one of the most influential rappers period. Most hip hop artist (especially now) are only as large as the beats, samples & catchy hooks the rhyme over. Tupac on the other hand was able to reach the heart & conscience of hip hop culture through the words he was saying. Only when he signed with Death Row was he celebrated for the sounds of his music. His following came about because of the content of his words & to me, at least, that qualifies him to be one of the greatest MC’s ever because he would have been successful as a writer or poet even if he grew too old to rap. Nobody is hollering about Big Pun being one of the greatest rappers around after his death, no disrespect. But Tupac should definitely not be on this list.

From what I’ve read, most people think you’re insane to categorize Tupac as an overrated rapper, & I agree, what is this based on? the last 5 or 6 postmortem CDs released? there’s a reason Pac had such an extensive amount of unused material, Duh, it wasn’t his best work, that’s why it was unused, so if u want to judge the man, judge him on material HE had control over. In which case he deserves the props, when he was out, his voice was relevant, just as relevant as a Chuck D or KRS, and covered a wider selection of topics than Biggie ever did. Now the rest of those rappers mentioned, I agree with most of the choices, but I don’t put the blame squarely on their shoulders, the labels, managers, media in general has a lot to do with the direction music is pushed into, and if u have a bunch of idiots getting behind idiotic things, what do u think u get?

i dont agree 2pac shouldnt be on this list thre are series of other rappers u kan put up here for example gucci man, shorty lo, d4l, i even think fat joe has lyrikal skill there is def worst rappers then him…we kant assume wut biggie or ti would have been if they were alive with the way musik is going we dont even know if they would have even been relevant to hip hop now when u have all this dance songs and other bulls**t thats filtering hip hop…1 there isnt any true hip hop artist anymore or let me rephrase that if u just entered the game 9 times out of 10 its not for ya rhyming skills like how it wuz 10 or 12 yrs ago when u had the biggies u ha the jayz u had the big ls u had the lox…look at someof the most underated mcs today they dont get respect simply bc of rekord sales but they will wipe the floorklean…most def, talib, the roots, the clipse, jada, styles p,sheek…the list goes on…

Yall put Tupac at # 10. Be serious, he is the reason why Rap is at its all-time LOW. Ever since TUPAC left the scene, everybody wanted to b like 2PAC. Lil wayne can flow, Kanye west is stupid and the money has changed him,

Tupac was the s**t and so is Lil Wayne – yall should be murked for even trying to put these interesting, intelligent and creative rappers on the list – you hater – where u from? Philly? LOL I don’t feel strongly enuff aobut the other ones but I enjoy their music (not familiar w/music of Bow Wow. And Asher – wtf is that?) But whoever wrote the article and even came up w/the list must just be a bored-ass loser – there’s so many hyped up rappers that ain’t s**t and never will be and you picked THESE? I don’t know wtf Soulja Boy be saying but he MIGHT be spittin!! I bangs Rick Ross. Bangs Nelly. Jim Jones Bangs (f**k his lil key phrase who cares?) that s**t bring ur trunk into the front seat.But most of this list is fun rappers not even supposed to be “spittin” – not everyone wants to have a black history lesson or social consciousniess movement when listening to music! Fire this writer.

Yea really u all messed up on this list. TUPAC c’mon he’s i mean words couldn’t even describe how and what he has done for rap. Also Lil Wayne is loved by most people because he does his s**t out there c’mon. Go and research again because who knows where u’re getting your info.

This top 10 is the worst. The only ones I agree with are Fat Joe, Plies and Soulja Boy.

Jim Jones has improved drastically and Bow Wow has a decent flow. The only reason people hate on him is that he acts like he is hard when he is not because most of his album sales are still from little kids. But I do not think that is a reason to hate on someone.

I can agree with all this except for Pac, if Pac’s on the list Biggie neds to be on the list as well. If a rapper dies or stops rappin, u can’t base his career off the what ifs. Pac changed the game and even after def still had alrite sells wit songs he may have neva put out himself.

pac overrated ha! blackplanet is overrated

your list iz somewhat on point take off 2 pac and fat joe these are vets. jim jones if not drunk can do some damage.the rest are babies,the lil man from mars and rick the c.o. are true testaments to what i call extreme wackness.jus because ya hated does not make ya a player

whoever put TUPAC on this list should be smack. i agree with everyone else on this list but come on if u gonna put TUPAC on the list might as well put BIGGIE too

TUPAC SHOULD NOT I REPEAT SHOULD NOT BE ON THIS DAMN LIST!!! Solujaboy should have been #1.

Most of you niggas are too ignorant to understand that “overrated” doesn’t mean “bad”. Go read a dictionary or something…s**t. I love Pac, Weezy, and Asher, but all three of them ARE overrated.

Niggas call Pac the g.o.a.t. when he just wasn’t. There were better rappers in his time and there have been better ones since. Still, I think it’s f**ked up and biased for dude to put him on the list without adding B.I.G.

Weezy is clever as f**k with most of his punchlines, but there’s points on tracks where he just starts saying anyf**kingthing to get multisyllabic patterns going. Plus, people are just on his dick WAY too hard right now.

Clearly dude that wrote the article got something personal against Asher Roth. He needs to go listen to him over “A Millie”. I’m also tired of hearing that Eminem comparison, because, really, it’s just because they’re both white; they don’t talk about the same s**t at all and their flows are completely different. Still, dude is getting A LOT of hype in the industry right now…more than he deserves.

…And to the broad that said “not everyone wants to have a black history lesson or social consciousniess movement when listening to music!”
That’s some really dumb s**t for a grown-ass woman to say. That type of s**t is the reason niggas do the dumb s**t that they do. Maybe, just maybe, if you spent a little more time expanding your mind, you’d be able to spell “consciousness” properly. If at all possible, please don’t have any kids…ever.

PAC? PAC! YO WHO DID THIS SOME HATER FROM NYC OR SOMETHING, LOOK EVERYTHING PAC PUT OUT WHILE ALIVE MOVED A GENERATION, AND PUT A NATION OF PAC LOVER’S BEHIND THE WEST COAST AND HAD IT KOOL TO THROW UP THE DUB, FAT JOE BEEN THROUGH AT LEAST AT THE START OF HIS CAREER, I HAVEN’T LISTENED TO ANY FULL ALBUM SINCE J.O.S.E. BUT HE STILL HAS MY RESPECT,PLIES I’M FEELIN HOMIE AND SO ARE THE STREETS, HE’S BEING TRUE TO HIS CRAFT, AND RECORD SALES AND RINGTONES SHOW THAT,HEY NELLY WENT FROM HIP-HOP TO POP AND TO CROOS BACK OVER IS A LIL HARD, SO HE WAS BOUND TO FLOP,BUT HE WAS THROUGH EARLY IN HIS CAREER,BOW WOW IS JUST COMING INTO HIS OWN AS MAN, LET HIM FIND HIS WAY IN THIS MUSIC BIZ, HE HAS A WHOLE DECADE AND HE’S STILL RELEVANT SO I RESPECT HIM,RICK ROSS NO COMMENT LMAO, SOULJA BOY, HEY EVERY GENERATION HAS TO HAVE A RETARD THIS IS THEIRS,AS FAR AS WAYNE EVERYTHING AFTER 500 DEGREES HE SOLD HIS SOLD FOR AND I HAVE NO RESPECT FOR HIM

All of them are serving or have served a purpose to the rap game… The only one I agree with is Rick Ross.. I just believe if you use to be a correction officer you qualify as being a fraud if your rapping about how deep ur in the dope game.. U were in charge of heming convics up in jail.. that was the purpose he served.. raps biggest frauds is the list he should’ve made.. that’s worst than Vanilla Ice..

You must be from New York to say Pac is overrated the man sold more records than elvis but I guess If he liked white people he be one of the best huh, Now Lil Wayne is tight if you were going on lyrics he’s gotta alot rappers on that hell his verses are hotter than Mr.West no disrespect he’s hot but in a battle wayne would eat him alive Jim Jones been talking to the streets from jump Bird Game B***h and his lyrics are for the streets so if you never hustled in the streets you wouldnt know what he was talking about and bottom line rap is for the HOOD not the burbs each rapper has there own crowd theres street hustlers,goons,bosses,soilders,poets
players,kiddie rap(Bow-Wow),Funny its too many styles to list even tho I dont care for the rest of the people on your list but they bang in there own crowd like the lost boys they had the same flow on each album and people loved them so why you hating on plies
you should really think before you write something like dat again your next piece should be is it time for rap to be broke down like rock music soft,hard,acid,punk you get the point

Pac is definately THE MOST OVERRATED . . . .
I totally agree.

Man who ever agree with saying Pac overrated trippin dude put s**t out that is still relivent to this day and he put passion behind everything he put out. Alot of MC’s now dont do that, they dont talk about s**t anymore and that s**t is getting tired and to say Pac wouldnt influential today is crazy as hell. I get more out of what Pac says in his rhymes then most MC’s i like today. So dude needs to stop trippin mayne and stop hatin, the person who did this must be under 20.

come on you know dame will if pac was stell around his s**t would be someing water down s**t like if big was around i dont think he would have any thing to say and all them othere nigga on th list come on come on now you know and i know they all bulls**t

2Pac is the greatest rapper to have ever lived!!! And I agree with the guy that said whoever wrote this must be under 20. Anyone who doesn’t see that wasn’t around when he was around or shortly after! He just doesn’t have a Diddy to keep his legacy alive!! But I still listen to him everyday!

pac influence this whole generation. He was a poet first like krs.one[do ya know who he is?]god bless the dead.

s**t like this will make mutha*** stop reading this bull*** [the man is still dropping hits and he is gone, stop all that nonsence and let the future be wrote by real ni**@. So I guess ice cube,nas and hova aren't legends either. These guys are the blueprint to all of these young rappers plus the old g's respect them too[rakim,chuck d, ll.cool and many more.]

What hater made this list…Jay-Z?

U heard the rumor MAKAVELLI IS ALIVE & WROTE A BOOK on what really happened 9/7/96?
U heard he says JAY-Z PULLED THE TRIGGER?
U’LL HEAR IT ON TMZ!

http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_ss_b_1_13?url=search-alias%3Dstripbooks&field-keywords=the+white+book+makavelli&sprefix=the+white+book

people really think lilwayne is sumthin special on a stage drinkin cough mrdicine to get high and performing slurr’d speeched in concert, tupac is One of the best. music now a days rarely have any originality to it. what happen to being creative with ur own NEW BEAT ect… this lil wayne is garbage and to classify him with old school talent is a waste. people on here is tripin, if pac is on here so is B.I.G, he is way overrated and punk azz P-diddy or pillow boi soft azz cookie

YOU ALL MUST BE CRAZY TO HAVE TUPAC ON THIS LIST I LOVE HIM FOREVER! THE BEST RAPPER EVER!!!! YOU HEARD!!!!!

Rakim and Kane along with Redman and kool g rap round out my four best. So-called Hip Hop today is a f_ _ kin joke. They need to stop producin these wack nigga’s for real

THERE R ALOT OF BAD HIP HOP IN THE GAME AND THERE R ALOT OF GOOD,

THE BAD R THE ONES WHO CANT TELL A GOOD STORY,
AND WHY NEW RAPPERS HAVE THE SAME DAMN STORY STOP IT NOW HALF OF YALL HAVE BEEN RAISED RIGHT

I LIKE SOULIA BOY I THINK THATS GOOD FOR KIDS TODAY , THEY DONT NEED TO B RAPPER OR HEARING AND DRUGS , SEX AND KILLING I MEAN IT WHATS GO ON IN THE WORLD BUT THERE R GOOD DAYS ALSO THAT HAPPEN SO LETS RAP ABOUT THE SUNNY DAYS BESIDE ALWAYS THE DARK ONES

HIPHOP FOREVER REAL HIPHOP

I have been listening too Rap music for over twenty-five years and I must say that most of what I hear today is garbage. Someone said that the rappers talk about what’s going on in the streets. Most of these rappers don’t live in the ghetto and who wants to constantly hear about Murder, Death, Drugs and Suffering. I don’t really like a lot of what LIL Wayne makes because he has no lyrical content. I also think that Tupac is one of the top three best rappers of all time, if not the best. People think that making money makes you a great rapper. That’s not true I know many conscious rapper like Talib, Mos Def and Common who would lyrically destroy most of the top rappers today. Most people under thirty-five don’t have a vast knowledge about the history of rap and what it takes to be a great Lyricist, Rapper, Pioneer, HIP Hop artist and ambassador. The old school rappers would probably annihilate the rappers today if they had a freestyle battle. I think that the rap game is slowly dying because it is not about creating great music and taken chances. People copy and continue too make the some old tired music.

I CAN’T BELIEVE THEY HAD THE NERVE TO PUT 2PAC ON THIS LIST… HE WAS ONE OF THE FEW ARTIST THAT WAS ACTUALLY A POET AND HIS MUSIC HAS LIVED 13 YEARS AND COUNTING… DEAD OR ALIVE HE IS PRETTY MUCH THE G.O.A.T. NUFF SAID. AND HE STOOD UP FOR OUR PEOPLE… THE CAT WAS PRETTY MUCH A BLACK LEADER… YALL ARE FAGS FOR PUTTING HIM ON THIS LIST… NO WAY IN HELL HE SHOULD BE ON THIS LIST.

Did I just see Weezy, Tupac, Nelly, Soulja Boy, and Plies on this list??? BP, ya’ll is out of there. Weezy is not overated, he’s doin’ what most rappers don’t do and HE DOES GOT FLOW, MAD FLOW, he don’t even has 2 write his sh!t down. And when it comes to Tupac, during the the life he had he was the sh!t and his music from back in the day is still played now. Now Nelly albums might not be the est, but every time he leaves and comes back it’s always a hit! I mean, always! I wish muthafu

I wish muthafu

Its comica, how whoever wrote this list, is hiding behind the Urban Daily title. Instead of naming themselves. Anybody with half an ounce of common sense, and any history of Hip Hop. Knows that Tupac was one of the sickest Poets ever to touch a mic. And you c********rs need to stop writing blogs/articles or whatever about hip hop. Unless you have the knowledge to speak the truth.

WHOEVER PUT PAC ON THIS LIST DOES NOT KNOW S**T ABOUT REAL HIP HOP..HOW COULD PACE BE OVERRATED IF HALF THE GAME TODAY IS STILL BITING HIS STYLE…HE WAS NO BIGGIE WITH TRICKY LINES OR WHAT NOT BUT HE DEFINITELY WAS A HOT RHYMER THOUGH…THE REAL NIGGAS NO WHO SHOULDA BEEN ON THIS LIST..MUTHAF**KIN 5O CENT..HE CAN TALK S**T BUT AFTER HIS FIRST CD ITS CLEAR THAT HE IS JUST MAKING THESE STUPID ASS SONGS FOR MONEY..’ BANKS TOLD HIM GO HEAD N SWITCH THE STYLE UP AND IF THEY HATE THEN LET EM HATE AND WATCH THE MONEY PILE UP”..THATS BS…

Whoever made this list been gettin cussed out from the minute he posted this Sh!t and he still aint fix it? He need his ass kicked

This list was ridiculous, how did the best rapper of all time TUPAC SHAKUR MAKE THE LIST. come BP!, that made the whole list garbage…I was there until I saw TUPAC, whats the difference between Tupac and BIGGIE? THIS WAS A WAIST OF TIME LOOKING AT, HAVE THE AUTHOR POST HIS CREDENTIALS FOR BEING THE JUDGE…

How dare you put 2pac on this list and he’s dead… if u put him up here, all dead rappers should be up here if the question is would they be hott 2day… Why isn’t Camron, Remy Ma, Papoose, the game, lil mama, anybody affiliated with the song “chicken noodle soup” and last but not least Nas up here… i can read a dictionary over a beat too you know… Who’s responsible for this post? you need to stick to POP and R&B cuz you don’t know shyt about hip hop if u got my dude Pac up here!!!

Furthermore anybody can make it in the game today. my 4 year old nephew could make it in this game today… these rappers suck… all u need today is an okay beat and a catchy hook and they play the bullshyt on the radio. hey add a dance to it and you get video airplay too… give me a break. If I was a rapper I wouldn’t want to be a part of this era of whack rap…

Somebody was smoking that good stuff when PAC name came on this list….It must be an early April Fool’s joke…hilarious ….you had me at Souja Boy….PAC IM OVER HERE IN SHOCK! GREATEST RAPPER OF ALL TIME, I WONDER HAD BIGGIE NAME GOT LEFT OUT THE LIST WITH PAC

Are you kidding me, you put Tupac on the list? There are clearly other rappers that you could have included , i agree with ilovemesomehim21 somebody was smoking some bobby brown when they included him.

Tupac was a definite mistake! How is 50 not on there!!?! He mumbles every sentence! And you can put ANY Southern Rapper on that list! Except the D.O.C. Fabulous not on there? Jah Rule either!?! There should be a list of the 50 worst.

tupac was a fake. if tupac was still alive, then 50 cent would have a exposing field day. the dude was claiming thug like this, thug life that, but wasn’t really even a thug at all.

wooow PAC…..i think all the rappers deserve to be on there except for PAC…out of all the corny rappers out now u pick PAC…( shaking the head).

Ok, I agree wit most this list, minus, Fat Joe, and Pac, but y is 50 not on there? y is 2 Pistols not on there? y is Mims not on there? MR.Jibbs, Young Joc, I mean come on people there’s LOTS of WHACK RAPPERS out there… Now as I will agree Pac was not the best lyrically, he made up for in influentiality. He may not have had the metaphors of Jadakiss, or the gritty raw gutter style of DMX but when he spoke u listened, no matter the song u wanted to hear what he had to say… and even more so than Influentiality… Pac struck FEAR into a lot of emcees, look at Nas… one of the best lyricists of all time… who is the only man to shut him up and MAKE him apologize??? 2Pac… Against All Odds shut Nas down with simple badgering and factual statements, no lyrics, no punches, just factual statements. No other rapper to this DAY could do that without some kinda lyrical talent behind them. Trust when I say… if Pac was to come back 2day, a lot of rappers would s**t theyselves and stop rappin completely. Imagine if Pac walked across the stage of 106 & Park??? what would ur reaction be? That is the mystery and genius behind Pac. He left everyone guessin at what he would do next. So Pac might not have been lyrically great but u can’t deny he deserves his rating, and he deserve to be named the greatest. End of discussion!!!

Lol omg what!!Pac!?I dont think so.Yes where is Fab on this list,50 cent???Yeah someone obviously forgot about those two.

WTH?! Whoever came up with this list must not know much about real lyricism in hip-hop. Lil Wayne isn’t rappin’ about anything because he has to market his music toward these crack babies. Who do you think is buying all of this garbage? Weezie is way better than this.

PAC, OK ITS CRAZY U GOT HIM ON HERE YOU ALL MUST BE DUMB ASS F**K. EVERY RAPPER THAT YOU LIKE LOOKED UP TO HIM. NOT ONE NIGGA IN THE GAME THAT IS A RAPPER HAS EVER SAID PAC CANT RAP. 50 SAID THAT PAC WAS HIS FAVORITE JAY-Z BIGGIE OR NAS DIDNT WANT TO BATTLE HIM . PUT IT LIKE THIS ADD UP HIS HITS AND COMPARE THEM TO WHAT OTHER HAVE. AND DONT FORGET ONE MAIN FACT PAC NEVER NEEDED TO TAKE ANYBODY WORDS TO SELL HIS S**T LIKE OTHER RAPPER

come on,there is no way fat joe,2pac,or nelly should be on this list,hell nelly probley sold more songs than all other
9 rapper on this list combined
anyway i gust anybody can make a list of favorites or no favorites,

man this is bulls**t the greatest rapper to grace a stage u want rate him as overhype but to be honest 2pac saved the rap game let give a history lesson1991 what was rap about everybody wanted to be gansta pac said its cool to be gansta but at sametime be real think about it ,he didnt talk about just gansta s**t at a time when so many black men was caught in slave mentality he made u think about what was going on around u he didnt influence just a few ppl he showed the world what was possible not jus about street life but as black man in america i admit some of those ppl should be on that list but 2pac shouldnt if not for him some these so called rappers wouldnt be in tha game u must not take away what was ordained there will not be another of that caliber if he was here now who could stand up to him verse4verse without lying about things they done but have to keep it real (only truly motherf**kers know this be truest s**t i wrote

warchild
soldier 4 life

tupac had a whole coast follow him and he wasnt even born there, what u talkn bout willis come on man step up ur game

you got pac on this list man who wrote this blog and this list? It had to be some one that was born after pac died!!! If pac was still living he would have the game on lock and alot of these wack azz mc’s would have to step their game up!!!!!

How Can pac be overated? I’m still loving pac’s music. It is timeless like a Edgar Allen Poe story. Somebody needs a good ol fasion beat down for putting 2pac on this list. That is Rap Blasphemy. Next think you gonna say is that Jesus was overated as a Messiah?

Who ever put Pac on this list is a TRU IDIOT!!!! Pac is the GREATEST RAPPER POET STORY TELLER of all time! period point blank!

Unfortunately, by placing Tupac on this list, you have given reasonable doubt to the validity of the list and therefore making the remaining nine questionable. If all you could say is,”if Tupac had lived…?”, Come on, it is over twelve years since Pac’s death, and we’re still talking about him. If Pac would have lived, I doubt he would have been rapping any more in his 40′s but, he would have still been influential in other areas as film or production, but that in no means should include him in this list. This sounds like this writer has not let go of the east coast- west coast feud, of the nineties.

This, was to get a rise out of people. Even Biggie fan know Tupac should not be on this list. This could be an experiment. “How many people can you piss off at once.” Hey I guess former President Bush is in the top 10 as smart presidents.

Can we please switch Tupac out and put 50 jingle rapping self in his place. Although I’m not a huge rap fan, Tupac had lyrical skill and he was one of the best (not better than B.I.G), but one of the best. 50 is hot garbage with a hot beat and no one understand what he’s saying anyways.

I feel whom ever felt 2PAC was over rated needs to back track and analyze before criticizing. He was and still is the best Rapper of all time. He was one of the very few who took the game to a totally different level. You could not help but to feel where he was coming from.

Pac on the 10 most overated list ? come on man. I agree most of the people on the list are hot garbage. Quit messin with folks minds and do a true to top 20 of corporate backed hot garbage MCs.

Lies. If Pac was alive he would still be as influential. Hes still part of music, art, our culture, who tops that. No one.You forgot how rich his blood is. Dont disrespect my boo. East/ West naw just ignorance.

Fall BACK.

ya’ll was good with soulja boy and everything…but Tupac on this list…PLEASE ACT LIKE YA’LL AINT STUPID!

are you crazy or what. How can you even open up you mouth and say 2Pac was over rated. 2pac was the best at what he did and could teach some of the so called MC’s now a thing or two. Jay’z Diddy. Do I need to go on. It is more to then Bling Bling.

Who’s idea was this stupid ass list!!!!!!! First off, in a world of haters, we can’t knock any of these dudes from “hustlin’” whether it’s on the corner or on wax. Secondly, putting their egos aside, these dudes, one way or another, influenced a great number of people. just because it was not to your liking does not mean that it was wrong….GROW UP!!!! (Hating is at an all-time high)

Pac? Nigga please pac gets play in my ride today and he died 13 years ago. Now that’s relevent.

I have nuttn bad to say,but come on pac mann i still play his music first over any artist,then lets not forget wayne is changing the game right now…But 2pac on dis list was a big klucking mistake.

I think Jay-Z is way overrated. If Biggie was still alive I don’t think Jay-Z would be where he is today!!!

OK OK, lets be realistic. that list was almost correct i am not a tupac fan however to denie him his legacy would be trifulling, overated no, best rapper ever as most say HELL NO! AS FOR THE REST OF THE LIST REMOVE JAY-Z AND YOU ARE DEFINATELY RIGHT AS FOR THE REST OF YOU WHO THINKS JAY Z BELONGS ON THE LIST STOP HATING HATERS!!!!!!!!

the list holds true pac wasn’t the very best like people said he was . that makes him over rated but still far more ill than any of the others on that list

I agree with this list only person missin is Kanye

first of all tupac and lilwayne should have never been in that selection.Gtes yall facts right haters

WOW!!! WHO N DA HELL PUT THIS LIST 2GETHA? JIM JONES YEA…. BOW OF COURSE… SOULJA BOY HELL F*@$IN YEA…. TUPAC, WAYNE AND JOE…… U SHUD KILL YASELF…

you have lost your mind for putting pac on this list! I wonder who you would say are the top ten of all time.

whoever did this list should be fired!!!! real talk! dont write about s**t u know nothing about, and dont ever disrespect tupac and lil wayne like that again in ur life!!!!

who the f**k wrote this list thats what i want to know… He put Tupac on there just to get some comments cursing his ass out. You damn piece of s**t.

Wow Tupac an Wayne are by far in 2 different categories but neither would be put on the worst of all time list someone needs to get fired………

I usually dont comment on this but i gotta agree with everybody else. Whoever put Makaveli (aka Tupac since im sure this person doesnt know Pac changed his rap name to that b4 his untimely demise) should be banned for ever constructing a list again. Now I agree with you on the other 9 people (including Lil Wayne…sorry but yall gonna forget who he is in 5 five years) but Tupac!?! If it wasnt for Pac, alot of these cats on and off of this list wouldnt exist. His lyrics was potent and str8 from the heart. How dare you say that he is overrated when no other musician is like him nor will ever be. Listen to Killuminati 7 Day Theory and Me Against The World from start to finish and tell he aint classic.

I guess bad publicity is just a good a good publicity.. How many artists has Pac inspired? All the guys that are not on the list that we all should assume are in the top 10! TI, come on… Now he is overrated.. I even think Kanye West is overrated. This is just a reason to start an argument. Pac has been dead for how many years and his records are much better than the crap made today. I guess the music buying public just does not know what true MC’n is.

The list was going well till I saw 2pac. U must be out of your minds. Kanye West should be on this list not 2Pac.

Ayo,You just want attention putting Tupac on that list,Lil Wayne, well his muffled up non sense rhyme style,wich he says nothing really. Highly over rated. I want to say 50 will destroy Lil Wayne even though 50 aint the beast he once wuz. Its all good because he came up, and really can retire and just put groups out and just sit in the cut.

WTF? IF YOU”RE GOING TO SUBMIT SOMETHING LIKE THIS THEN DO IT AND BE POLITICALLY CORRECT. EVERYBODY MIGHT NOT LIKE TUPAC BUT HAVE TO GIVE RESPECT TO HIS LEGACY. 2PAC IS MY ALL TIME FAVORITE MC AND BY FAR ONE OF THE BEST TO EVER TOUCH THE MIC ESPECIALLY COMPARED TO TODAYS SO CALLED HIP HOP. PERIOD.
-H-

I think that Jennifer Hudson/Beyonce/Jennifer Lopez/Spike Lee. Jennifer Hudson screams her songs, Beyonce can’t act and EVERYTHING IS ABOUT HER. No matter who she has to climb over. That Sasha Fierce is just the freak in her all along. Her parents are living vicariously through her. Jennifer Lopex everyone is just looking at her body. That is why Spike Lee makes and acts in almost all of his movies. WHO WOULD ACTUALLY CAST HIM IN ANYTHING?

I Agree Harrison, That Is Straight Disrespect, Putting Pac In The Mix. Even If He Would Have Lived Alot Longer, He Would Have Still Left A Profound Legacy. That Was Obvious While He Was Still Here On Earth!

This person can not be serious…2Pac? Come on….None of these rappers out here these days are real MC’s. Its the same old lines about guns and what they will do to some one when most of them hasn’t, or never will do anything. Placing 2PAC on that list, you must be crazy. Appearently you have absolutely no idea what a real MC consist of being. Whoever you are, do some real research and then compile your list again. Kanye and T.I. are real MC’s? WHAT!!! NEVER!!! Give me some of what you’re smoking! LOL

“I hear Brenda’s got a baby
But, Brenda’s barely got a brain

If this one half of Verse doesn’t show how PAC spoke the truth, things that are relevant, he had flow, and passion with his words. Now I love KANYE i think that he is just altogether talented and deep, but PAC was a REAL MC. A Rapper….Enough said rest RIP.

As long as when the check came they got first dibs…”

If this one half of Verse doesn’t show how PAC spoke the truth, things that are relevant, he had flow, and passion with his words. Now I love KANYE i think that he is just altogether talented and deep, but PAC was a REAL MC. A Rapper….Enough said RIP.

Tupac was an ordinary MC when he was alive. What made him famous was death row, biggie, and how he died. His career would have ended up just like 50 Cents had he survived. And how could you leave out Lil Boosie… GARBAGE!!!

Yeah, you got to be kidding me! Tupac? Tupac was a true poetic genius before his death and after his death. He spoke about real issues that affect all of us and he did it in true finesse. I’m tired of people comparing Tupac with Biggie. Biggie was gifted as well but he wasn’t Tupac. As for Plies, stop haten cause he looks better than you.

You see this goes to show you the difference people who listen to beats and people who understand “words”. Whoever put this list together never listen to the words of the late Tupac because, if they did it would no way 2Pac should be on this list. Some people are not stupid but plain “Ignorance” and they are getting paid to do this.

come on now pac #10 he is one the best…if you put 2pac up there then B,I,G BIG PIN

there is noway to rate mc’s everyone is coming from different places everybody looks at the music in a different way because the pure music comes from the underground shaping what we listen to

PAC WAS MORE THAN A MC’S HE WAS A ARTIST AND REVOLUTIONARY

Wow this was almost respectable until Tupac should up. If Tupac is on this list then just put everyone.
JZ, NAS, Snoop, Big all of them.

I still laugh at this s**t after i done had 2 posts on this subject already. (Like many, with 4 and 5 damn comments to this article.lol. this s**t definitely sparked some s**t in some people. that’s cool though.) How about yall put that boi who got that dumb ass stinky leg song out? that s**t is stupid, right with soulja boy’s s**t. but like some people said, they are young and its excusable to put s**t out like that. Gets kids out of the suck my di*k, and i got guns, and i sell drugs and got mad money and a billion rented cars s**t. So, they can pass. But like some body else said, BP should have a top 10 ignorant ass articles BP allowed to be posted. LOL. that was funny. who’s the guy who wrote this?

How can they say Pac is overated? His albums from years ago is better than 75% of the bulls**t out today. Most of the rap out today is straight garbage you couldn’t pay me to listen to this bulls**t. Eat a dick nigga.

DONT EVER PUT PAC ON THERE SQUARE A$$, ILL SLAP U MANE WEST GOOD!!!

$0 HYPH@DYL1C

Whom ever suggested Tupac should be on this list obviously does not know HIP HOP.

I can only say WWOOWWWW!!! With all the garbage on the radio, this was the best you could do…? And define overrated… Cause I think we missed something…

Whom ever suggested Tupac should be on this list obviously does not know HIP HOP.

Its clear Tupac was put on here just to spark conversation. Do realize he was put up there last.

these people did this list just wanted to have something to say 2-PAC.

Yeah including tupac was an attention grabber, makes the list seem less legit. Lil Wayne should be on there twice.

I was with you until Tupac… I can’t believe you said that out loud…

Who the hell wrote this? Who ever wrote this should be fired. 2-Pac? Really? Of course if he was alive he would still be on top. He was on top when he died and remained on top after he died. (Do your homework)If you don’t like him that’s fine but keep your personal opinions to yourself when publicly speaking.

Okay, this makes a “little” I don’t think Fat Joe is on there, I’m not from NY but visiting NY, he has that NY sounds. Don’t think Soulja Boy should be on there because he is not a rapper, the boy is an entertainer; CORNY, but not a rapper. And TUPAC? I’d slap the …………

dont you ever..eeeevver….ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever EVER…put a nigga like TUPAC on a bulls**t ass list like this…ok?

Dude, I cant belieaveeeeeeeeee you put Pac on this list, Give me some of that ###4t u been sniffing

you have got to be kidding me…..DUDE tupac? it was good until you got to tupac then it was like blah,blah,blah,uh ok SHUT UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THIS IS BY FAAAAAAAAAARRR, THE WORST LIST IN HISTORY!…NEVER IN THE YEARZ OF NIGGADOM HAVE I CAME ACROSS A STUPID ASS ARTICLE LIKE THIS, ONLY TO FIND OUT THAT 2PAC HAS BEEN PUT ON THE OVER RATED LIST OF MC’S, AND THE 10 TEN AT MOST?…I MEAN WTF?…SOMEONE NEEDS TO TAKE AWAY YOUR JOURNALISM CERTIFICATE OR WHATEVER THE HELL IT IS THEY GAVE YOU…SHAME ON YOU, AND SHAME ON THE FOOLZ WHO PUBLISHED THIS S**T!

UUUGH!

tsk tsk tsk thats all that can be said. they know they were wrong for throwing his name on there at the end.

THIS IS NOT A TRUE TOP TEN.

2pac???? you all just disrespected the whole game that’s why hip hop fell off because of fools like you!!!!! wack!!!!!!!!!!!! to put pac on a list like this..is crazy…

AND WHO DI BUMBO KLAAT IS ASHER ROTH?

WHOEVER MADE THIS LIST PLEASE LEAVE THE JUDGING OF REAL MC’S TO THOSE WHO KNOW WHAT THE HELL IS GOING….ROSS LYRICALLY GO HARD..NOT A FAN OF BOW WOW BUT THE BOY SPIT LYRICS…U JUST DONT LISTEN…AND WAYNE DOES BE ALL OVER THE PLACE…BUT HE SAYS THINGS THAT THE GREATS HAVENT SAID…AND EVEN THOUGH BIGGIE IS THE BEST LYRICIST PERIOD AND IM FROM ATLANTA…U SHOULD BE KICKED IN UR FACE FOR EVEN MENTIONING ANYTHING ABOUT PAC RELATED TO THIS BULLS**T LIST….WHO THE F**K HIRED U

BUT JIM JONES IS THE WORST RAPPER ALIVE…..EVEN WORSE THEN SHAWTY LO AND LIL SCRAPPY GARBAGE ASS

As I was looking at the pics and reading the writers thoughts, I got to thinking Black planet needs some new staff. Now if this was your way of getting the most comments,U maybe successful with your lame A$%.I love U Tupac and the rest as well.The BOTTOMLINE is the made it.Why knock down when you have a little power to UPLIFT.

How in the holy hell did Pac, Wayne & Fat JOe get on this list??….Whatever dude smokin…its gotta be horses**t!

Pac???? What the fcck were you thinking bout putting one of the late greats on here? You need to be shot!!

WTF? Why is Pac and Wayne on the list???

Who the f**k is Asher Roth??? How can you be overrated if nobody knows who you are? LMAO!

I’m not a huge rapp fan but how in the hell do you but 2pac on this list, I don’t think Lil wayne, Nelly, or Rick Ross should be on this list……..There is one super star I would add but I can understand his pain right now I just wish it didn’t show in his work..Peace !!

Blackplanet you are losing my respect by adding Tupac to your bs list to get ratings and stir up controversy . you starting to sound like those cheap gossip news papers. i thought we would have some interesting reading but i see you”re starting to to publish bs now too!

I can understand 1-9 But Tupac!!!! Yall got 2 b smokin!!! He’s the greatest everybody on this list wants 2 b Pac!!!!

man wtf yall need to take pac off that list but you can leave wanye bc that dude straight bites everybodies s**t and that damn voice machine is getting on my f**king nerves

and LIL bow wow should have stuck to playing basketball bc the tats dont make you hard home boy. LIL romeo harder than him

Tupac shouldn’t be on here at all.I do agree with the rest of the list.Half of you Wayne fans don’t even know what he’s saying and don’t care.He makes no sense at all.He’s just popular…End of story.

BP ur top 5 r irrelavent…y B/C U PUT 2 PAC DOWN AS AN OVERRATED RAPPER! WTF JUST TO GET PPL TO COME HERE!? YALL FULL OF BS! AND OBVIOUSLY DON’T KNOW TRUE MC’S WHEN U HEAR THEM AND/OR DON’T KNOW THE PAST BEHIND HIP HOP

2 all the lil wayne fans… he SUX!!! Heres a guy who went 2 college and then spells syphilis wit a cy on a national track and nobody catches it…yall talk about his vocab like he dont use his complex words outta context! Its official… hiphop is damn near dead and will soon die wit all these crap rappers gettin signed these days!

2 THE PROGRAMMED LISTENERS : HIP HOP SUCKS BECAUSE OF YOU !!

The f**k,come on now,Pac,dude better than T.I,Jigga,Nas and whoever else is living yall did not mention,the first nine was cool,but Pac,………..Come on now,get real

First off, Tupac is not dead. He JUST came out with a song with Keyshia Cole!! LMAO!! Got Flow=rick ross, fat joe
Kill Yo self= Soulja Boy
I’m sorry who= Asher Roth

I agree accept for 2pac. His music was still relevant and he and holds up. His music has substance.

WHOEVER CAME UP WITH THIS IS HELLA STUPID.

TUPAC DEFINATELY DOESN’T DESERVE TO BE ON THIS LIST.

NEITHER DOES WAYNE.

WTF Tupac overrated thats a insult to any rap fan. I can’t believe these people did that. I could see Biggie being over rated b4 Pac are you serious!! Everybody else yeah id add that idiot shawty lo on there too

After reading the rest of the post i had to try again,word,Wayne is garbage,has been for a while now,you people behind the decisions on who is and is not hot need to retire if you think the boi Pac excuse me Tupac is overrated,do you know anything about hip-hop,who else you know could take a wack beat and turn it into something,these rappers now days is doing the exact opposite,get ya s**t straight BP

i was followin u until u put 2pac with those wack dudes, 2pac was NOT!! A OVERRATED MC!! if anything he was underrated and u including him in this MESS shows just that.

I blame the economy; I haven’t been able to find walk in employment yet. So all ten need a award or something right’ wrong; It’s all about the benjamins Baby!

lol who wrote this? Yall must be some country music lovers or somethin. And response to sad_gemini84 tupac is dead pre-recorded lyrics on a new track. most of the people in the music industry that aint dead even does it on remix’s and besides… would tupac really let her sing over him talking?

To the author the list…bravo! If your intent was to show your editor/owner that BP members do read the media content or you just wanted to show him/her that you could get a large response…then you did your job.

now as for the rappers, i can agree with fat joe but the others, from whats being said on the slide show are you even listening to the lyrics ? or just hatin because of how many cd’s they put out with the same tracks or how they got got a chance to be a superstar? we should make one titled overrated rapper reviewers

I don’t know who writes this stuff, but you uys were good until attacked Tupac and wayne. Are you serious? The same Person(Wayne) that won multiple grammys include best rap abulm of the year is garbage…. Tupac Shukar the person that had a wole nation of blacks and some whites willing to follow him and til this day impacts the rap world is garbage? I think whom ever writes this stuff is a HATER…

Whoever made this list did a good job… Until you added Tupac. He was one of the greatest rappers of all time. I was with you til you added Tupac

Tupac is the biggest selling rap artist of all time… its like sometime his songs said what you where scared to say.. Soulja’s Story, White Man’s World… Listen to the 1st verse of Soulja’s Story… Pac is talking about the collapse of “the system’… too damn eerie… Tupac and Biggie… these rappers today are weak… Lil Wayne and Slim Thug are good… the rest of them sound like ringtone rappers. whoever wrote this article is a straight hater on Pac…

how and da hell you put tupac in this list . he is one of the greatest . he had wide vareity of subjects . he had social commentary , street, love songs deep song and club song . he was one of the most charasmatic rappers ever and you felt every word he said when he spit. how mamy rappers in the history of rap can you say that about , not many i bet .

NOBODY CAN SAY S**T ABOUT TUPAC BECAUSE IF TUPAC WAS STILL LIVING NONE OF THESE ARTIST WOULD EVEN BE HERE…WAYNE..IN MY OPINION NO DISRESPECT FOR THOSE THAT LIKE HIM…..IF WAYNE WASNT ALWAYS HIGH ON THAT STUFF WOULD YA’LL STILL LIKE HIM? CUZ HE WASNT BLOWING UP UNTIL HE GOT MORE ON THAT S**T! BACK N THE DAY HE WAS TIGHT BUT NOT HE’S WACK DOPE LOLLIE POP RAPPER WTF….NOW FAT JOE ON THE LIST HE’S TRASH MMM NELLLY, JONES AND THE REST R NOBODIES TO ME…..HEAR ONE SONG U HEAR IT ALL….SUPERMAN THAT HOE IS TRASH CUZ ITS NOT HIPHOP

Now I’m not a big rap fan, but the rapper who seemed to be the most influential is tupac. Even I (not a very big rap fan) can contest that his music hit home and not only left you wanting more, but also kept you thinking. If people are going to make the list then bp might as well put every lil rapper who had one club hit on there. Or what about the rappers with multiple club hits that all sound the same, and they cant have a serious rap even if they paid someone, eg: 50 cent. seriously, come on now

i agree with all this but pac pac is an instituion and they study his lyrics in college universities…. wayne is sittin two steps above trash and everyone else on ur list does suck too but to be honest if pac was alive he would be the nas of this day and age very very good but very very overlooked

I agree, the list was great and made alot of sense. Even had me crackin up talking about Soulja Boy and his fruity loop songs…lol…but TUPAC???? That’s a wrong move. I see the point though because it seems like people like garbage more than they like real music so although we true hip hop heads will love Pac no matter what, these youngins who know nothing about good music probably wont like him. People are listening to Souljah Boy and Bow Wow and these artists are truly garbage. I haven’t downloaded a song in months, nothing good has come out. Lil Wayne is on everyone’s track along with T-Pain and I’m tired of all of it. Rap music is really making me sick…..literally!!

Tupac??!! Someone should be fired for that one!!!

By putting Tupac on this list, your writing staff loses any and ALL credibility. I may as well read People magazine for music commentary.

I KNow LIKE HELL BP DID NOT LIST PAC , TUPAC SHA-MUTHAF**KING-KUR AS AN OVERRATED RAPPER… SOMEBODY NEED THEY F**KING AZZ KICKED FOR THAT. YOUNG DUMB JITTABUGS, THEY WOULD SAY SOULJAH BOY SORRY AZZ IS BETTER THAN PAC, STR8 STOOPID . YALL AZZ BOUT TO LOSE A MEMBER! CRAZY AZZ HELL… AND I’M A DJ … I STILL PLAY PAC IN THE CLUB TODAY TO KEEP THAT THANG MOVIN’ YA FEEL ME. BP WACK FOR THAT! CHANGE YALL SHYT TO WP.

My mouth is still hanging wide open. I can’t believe that you guys put Tupac on this list. That’s the craziest thing I ever heard. I agree with the other people, whom ever put Pac on the list should be fired

I LIKE ALL THE ARTIST, THAT ALL MIGHT SEEM LIKE THEY SPITTING THE SAME STUFF, BUT NOT SOMETIMES. THEY ALL GOT THEIR OWN PERSONALITY. I LOVE THEM ALL EVEN THE 1′S BACK IN THE DAYS N NOW, EVEN THE 1′S THAT GONE. SUMETIMES RAPPERS DON’T MAKE SENSE, OR SEEM 2 BRING OUT A BAD INFLUENCE ON MANY, BUT IT UP 2 THE PEOPLE WHO CHOOSE 2 FOLLOW. RAPPERS ONLY TRYING 2 MAKE A LIVING LIKE THE REST OF US, N SHARE THEIR TALENT OR GIFT. ITS MANY OTHERS THINGS THAT OUT HERE THAT AINT S**T, OR SHOW OR NEGATIVE INFLUENCE ON PEOPLE AROUND THE WORLD. SO PEOPLE SHOULDNT KNOCK RAPPERS 4 WHAT THEY DO OR SAY, THAT NOBODY BUISNESS 2 DO SO, BCUZ THAT ONLY JUDGEMENT, N ONLY GOD CAN JUDGE THEM ON WHAT THEY DO.

TUPAC!!!…HOLD UP! HOLD UP! HOLD UP! THIS IS A JOKE, RIGHT? HOW IN THE HELL U GONNA PUT THE BEST RAPPER OF ALL TIME ON THIS LIST? I MEAN, I WAS FLOWIN WIT IT TIL I SAW HIS NAME. I TOTALLY DISAGREE WIT HIM BEIN ON THIS LIST. AND UR RIGHT, HE WOULDNT BE AS GREAT AS HE WAS. IF HE LIVED, HE WOULD BE WAAAY BETTER NOW AND HONESTLY I THINK THE RAP GAME WOULD BE TOTALLY DIFFERENT IF PAC WAS STILL ON THE SCENE. AND THATS REAL!

I can understand most of them on the list but PAC ya’ll gotta have someone else that can replace him. Make a list of rappers that wouldn’t have made it if he was alive, ya’ll gotta be jokin. That dude was one of the greatest motivations of street niggaz old enough to know what he said. Lil Wayne should only be on there when he sings, but as a rapper he is the s**t.

pac was a poet so u wrong and i demand an apology now fat joe career died with pun r.i.p. nelly a performer not a mc every body else pure garbage

Excuse me? Tupac? Hell No! Had he lived, he would heve kept getting better and better just like Biggie. Whoever put him on th elist is downright ignorant

Excuse me? Tupac? Hell No! Had he lived, he would heve kept getting better and better just like Biggie. Whoever put him on the list is downright ignorant

ha ha i glad im not the only one that is soulja boy as a fake ass rapper. that nigga cant rap for s**t and he jocks off of other ppl moves

ha ha i glad im not the only one that sees that is soulja boy as a fake ass rapper. that nigga cant rap for s**t and he jocks off of other ppl moves

I have to disagree with y’all on Plies, Rick Ross, WEEZY & wait….TUPAC?!?!?! y’all crazy as hell out here!!!!! who made this list????

I HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH THE LIST ESPECIALLY WITH TUPAC ON THERE PLEASE STOP LIVING IN THE PAST TO BE HONEST HE WAS MEDIOCORE AT BEST AND TO KEEP IT REAL UNTIL BIGGIE MADE HIM THATS RIGHT I SAID UNTIL BIGGIE MADE HIM RELEVANT HE WAS JUST THE DUDE FROM POETIC JUSTICE WHEN WILL YOU GUYS LEARN THERES NO ROOM FOR WEST COAST RAP IN THE UPPER ESCALON OF RAPPERS ALL THE BEST ARE EAST COAST JAY BIGG BIGL 50 THE LIST JUST KEEPS GOING NOW IF THERE WAS AN OTURAGEOUS NAME ON THERE ITS LIL WAYNE BE SERIOUS TOP 2 SONGS OF THE YEAR NOW BESIDES RIDING T-PAIN’S NUTTS FOR THE LAST OH I DONT NO YEAR WAYNE IS STILL THE MAN AND YALL NO HELL EAT ANY RAPPER OUT HERE A LIVE IN A FREESTYLE BATTLE WHICH I BELEIVE IS REALLY WHAT THIS LIST COMES DOWN TO ALL THOSE GUYS EXCEPT WAYNE CANT FREESTYLE AND TO ME THATS WHAT MAKES U A REAL RAPPER BY THE WAY DID I SAY THAT OUT OF ALL THOSE GUYS THE ONE I HATE THE MOST IS PLIES SERIOUSLY WHY IS HE STILL RELEVANT GET OUT OF HERE DUDE.

BY THE WAY THE BEST RAPPERS BREATHING TOP 5 AND NOT IN ANY ORDER.
1.JAY
2. 50
3. EMINEM
4. LLOYD BANKS
5.LUDA

HONORABLE MENTION
WAYNE, T.I.P,CONTROVERSY WEST, WITH THAT NASTY SHAG

F**k the cheese coast and the bottom of the barrel……….. point blank shouldnt no artist that aint from the west be on any gangbangin s**t yall fake ass f**k stealing our s**t rip PAC rip MAC DRE shotout to the hood WESTSIDE I.E. LIL ZION BLOODz

i think the list is almost correctly done. Wayne is ok. I mean some of the shyt that he says is like ……”did he just say that?” But on the other habd i dont think he is the best rapper alive or dead. Not even in the top ten. I thyink pac is definitley one of the best to do it if not the best. The debate remains whos better BIG or PAC. Nevertheless, until you rap about something in one song and stick to that subject, then you’re kinda putting yourself in a compromising situation as far as calling yourself the best rapper alive or dead. But the rest of the list is ok. I mean the opinion on pac could be true as far as he wouldn’t have been as famous if he were still living. But in my top 3 nevertheless. Nas is 3.

Tupac… are you crazy man, one of the greatest of all time and he’s “overrated”!!! If he was alive 80% of the cats that got fame once he passed wouldn’t have, come on now, you thought 50 shut cats down, Pac actually had substance… thats like saying Mike Jordan was overrated!!! Are you over the age of 22?

I AGREED WITH ALL OF EXCEPT THE 2 PAC ONE – YES HE WOULD STILL BE GREAT HE IS THE ONLY ONE WHO HELD A DEGREE IN MUSIC. AS WELL AS HE STYLED HIS OWN MUSIC AND LYRICS AND HAD SOME RELEVANT THINGS TO SAY. JIM JONES IS A LOSER AND SHOULD BE #1 THE OVER RATED LIST NOT TO MENTION HE IS A CLASS A SISSIFIED JERK. MOST OF THESE PEOPLE ARE PRODUCTS OF WHAT A WHITE PRODUCES AT RECORD COMPANIES THINK RAP SHOULD BE NOT WHAT IT REALLY IS – AN ORAL HISTORY OR SPEAK ON THE STATE OF THE BLACK CONDITION.

Hmmm Top Ten 0ver rated…ever LOL I live in Atlanta this is easy …

1. Soulja Boy 2. Plies 3. Bow Wow 4. Rick Ross 5. Vita 6. Charlie Baltimore 7. Dj Unk 8. Crime Mob 9. Memphis Bleek 10. Webbie…

sorry couldn’t leave out the females …even the retired one cause they never should have had careers to start with…

CALM DOWN JOLLY RANCHER U NO ITS THE TRUTH AINT NOBODY GETTING PERMS AND RIDING BICYCLES OVER HERE AND S**T SNOOP DID HIS THING AND HE;S THE ONLY ONE WHO ILL EVEN RESPECT OF THE WEST, AND NOW WE THE CHEESE COAST DUDE IM LAUGHING REAL HARD LOOK RAP WAS ORIGINATED OVER HERE GANGSTA RAP IS DEAD U HEAR ME DONT NOBODY LISTEN TO MAC DRE AND DJ POOH OR MC EIGHT DAMN ITS 08 BROSKI GET A GRIP I NO YALL WEST COAST BOYS BE CRYING FOR RESPECT WELL GO BARK UP ANOTHER TREE I CANT HELP U ONLY THING THE WEST IS GOOD FOR IS VACATIONING SMOKING SOME GOOD GREEN AND KOBE JELLY BEAN BRYANT , A.K.A BLACK MAMBA, A.K.A DA DOBERMAN, A.K.A. ILL SHOOT YOUR EYES OUT

This internet reporter made up this list to get a bunch a fools to come to his pages, articles ect…so he/she can get Black Planet hits.

DAMN EVERYBODY GOIN ON BP FOR DEM SAYIN DAT ABOUT PAC….AND I AM TOO… WTF IS YALL OR WHOEVER WROTE DAT WACK ASS S**T IS TALKIN BOUT..PAC?? 4 REAL THO..LET ME SCHOOL ALL U TO SUMTHING AND REAL HIP HOP HEAD KNOW THIS…THE ONLY REASON YALL KNOW ABOUT JAY Z AND SUM OF THESE OTHER RAPPERS NAMES IS BECAUSE THERE IS NO MORE PAC..WHEN HE WAS ALIVE U HEARD NOTHING ABOUT JAY Z..WAYNE NOBODY..IT WAS EITHER PAC, BIGGIE, FACE,AND SUM OTHER ARTIST..THE ONLY REASON THESE RAPPERS ARE KNOW CAUSE THEM 2 R GONE..AND IT WAS WIDE OPEN..I CAN GO ON BOUT DIS..BUT BP JUS MADE MY HEAD HURT WIT DAT 1

Tupac is the Best of Em all

I guess you forgot about Jay-Z. Tupac never overrated I will have to disagree with that one. Oh you forgot 50 cent his time has truly PASS!

finally someone else thinks that tupac was way overrated other then me… his fame was more based on how he lived his life versus lyrics… i mean how many times have u ever heard someone quote a pac lyrics.. now ask urself how many times u heard someone quote a big lyric… point blank tupac was way overrated

Its always gonna be a hata, Hello. Alot of the artist mentioned in this seg. have relivance in the hood. Of course the Obama’s ain’t bumpin Plies or Weezy but I am! Honestly who gives a f**k?! These niggas hot right now, twenty years from now you’ll be saying the same damn thing about somebody else lett them breath.

well my opinion is 2pac is the greatest rapper of all time then com jay-z is the best rapper in this era

how can u say he got props and no flow….2pac is one of the best MCs ever in the game…and he was that good…yall forgot “brenda got a baby”….”i get around”..”so many tears”…and the list goes on..check out 2pac befor the badboy beef…the man was one of the best…yall crazy for even puttin him on this list.

pac should not be on the list

5

you got to be f**kin’ kiddin’ me right… tupac!! the rest i agree, but TUPAC….. YOU GOT TO BE A HATER.

U GAY ASS HELL THINKING TO PAC GOT TO MUCH HYPE HIS PICTURE SHOULDNT BE ON HERE AND WE SHOULDNT EVEN SAID HIS NAME TO TELL U THE TRUTH I REATHER LISTEN TO ANY TUPAC RECORD RIGHT NOW THEN LISTEN TO THIS WEEK ASS DANCE LAME AS MUSIC RIGHT NOW I LOVE THE 90S

PAC & 4 OTHER PEOPLE SHOULD NOT BE ON THAT LIST! WHO MADE THIS LIST UP ANYWAY?

SO YOU MEAN TO TELL ME THAT BIGGIE, WASNT OVER RATED, BUT PAC IS? I GUESS U HAVE A RIGHT TO UR OPINION, BUT LETS GET SOMETHING STRAIGHT, PAC DONT BELONG ON THAT LIST, THATS REAL TALK, NOW THE REST, SO BE IT……100

omg….this is definitely some bs. Tupac Amaru Shakur….I mean, the name says it all. How did Big make Pac when he was already here??? STOP THE MADDNESS!!

Rick Ross, Lil Wayne, 2 Pac… what the hell was you smoking before you put this together… Come on now… i understand a little on the Rick Ross side, but his album was pretty raw….

I agree with everybody on this list except it should’ve included Biggie and Jay-Z. The only talent these “rappers” have is the ability to fool people into believing they’re hot. And if the rest of these comments are any indication, I’d say 2pac and Wayne were/are probably the best at making people believe their hype.

I don’t think Fat Joe is overrated he is the only emcee on the list that has continually shown progress over the years. As for the rest of them dudes the list was dead on!!!!!

to put tupac on this list is very disrespectful and this is coming from a biggie fan.

all i have to say is wow cuz u tellin me the fukin greatest rapper dat ever touch the mic and dats tupac im talkin about and u sayin he over rated and for wayne wayne is holdin down hip hop right now and i dont see 50 cent and any other rappers dats tryna hate on da south

I’m Wit ya’ll 7-10
1.Tupac ya’ll are so disrespectful the grestest of all time.
2.Plies ..Doing His Thing rite now His albums are on point lyrically he respectable.
Lil Wayne people Is a lyrical beast Go back to “Lights Out”…
tell me he wasn’t on da same s**t !
Last But Not the Least Ya’ll Need To Apologize To Pac For All This Disrespect!

apparently , it unanimious,tupac shouldn’t been up here, if u had a said J-zee,kanye west,lilwayne that make good sense tupac rap about life and you could understand what he was talkin about the rest of the people sound like they woke up and the first that came to thing that came to mind they said it.

4 anyone to say TUPAC is overrated got to be the RETARDED he is the Smartest rapper to ever touch the Mic believe that he’s my #1 period and alwayz will b

You should also include Top 50 underrated Hip Hop artist as well b’cuz there is a plethora of artist. But I have GOT to disagree with the dude Ant’ talkingabout Plies shouldn’t be up there.. NAAAAH.. Not even, that dude IS garbage bcuz he may be doing his thing but there are artist on and off the scene who are WAAAY better than him. Hip Hop is about punch lines and flow.. he has NONE of that.

Pac? you trippin…. Every body already know pac fill up more tracks on ipods than anybody. I got atleast 25 myself. nobody else even close to that number of jams, well maybe r.kelly.
Lil wayne? aint feelin that one either. Hes probably the most talented its just somebody needs to tell him to go away for a while. Hes on everything, thats not good. Tired of hearing him.
Wheres 50? he sucks boo boo
wheres boosie; flo rida; young berg; and all the stanky leg type groups…. garbage!!!

This list made perfect sense until it got to TUPAC.. It’s sad what people will write, or say to get attention. If TUPAC were alive, most of that list wouldn’t exist and then there are a few other who you could add as well. If a Pac album drops next week he’s right back above these fools. Put Young Jeezy in PAC’S spot.

i dont know how anybody could ever say pac was overrated and yes if he was alive he would even be greater the man was a genius if anybody is overated it is 50 and in your wack ass opinion he aint in the list…

the list is good, except for pac, i agree with everyone else. tupac had more relivant content than any rapper, how could you say he didnt talk about anything. you must new putting him on the list would get you comments. no offense to new york but big goes on the list before pac, not saying he should be there but content wise he couldnt touch pac. im from dallas but you could all dallas rappers in pacs spot

the list is good, except for pac, i agree with everyone else. tupac had more relivant content than any rapper, how could you say he didnt talk about anything. you must new putting him on the list would get you comments. no offense to new york but big goes on the list before pac, not saying he should be there but content wise he couldnt touch pac. im from dallas but you could put all dallas rappers in pacs spot

THANK YOU J1980 AND SEXON6!! HOW IN THE WORLD COULD TUPAC BE ON THE LIST!!!! OTHER THAN NWA, HE WAS THE WEST COAST!!! THIS IS THE CRAZIEST THING I’VE READ TODAY!! I’M NOT A LIL WAYNE FAN BUT HE’S HOLDING DOWN HIP HOP ALONG WITH T.I. TOO. AFTER A T.I. SONG IS PLAYED,WAYNE COMES ON RIGHT AFTER IT. THE REST OF THEM REALLY DO NEED TO BE ON HERE. ESPECIALLY SOULJA BOY. AND WHY WAS MASTER P ON THE LIST EARLIER? HE DOESN’T EVEN RAP ANYMORE! WHERE IS T-PAIN,SLIM THUG, AND MIKE JONES?

LIKE I SAID BEFORE….UNLESS THEY START TALKING ABOUT THESE YOUNG PEOPLE’S DUTIES AS AN AFRICAN-AMERICAN WITH A PURPOSE OTHER THAN STUPIDITY AND LACK OF INSIGHT THEY ARE JUST AS USELESS AS THE KLU KLUX KLAN. KILLING EACH OTHER AND CAUSING THEMSELVES A NUISANCE 2 SOCIETY!

Tupac overhyped. BE SERIOUS! You got it right with Rick “fresh outta jail” Ross, because he just got off work. Ol’ Jimmy-never been a fan of Dipset period!. Them nigga’s is clown’s! Then there’s Young Money, always talkin’ ’bout what he got under the wife beater but he wouldn’t get out the car when 40 Glocc stepped to him. He say he a blood too, but he just learned which side his flag is supposed to be on. Plies…tryin’ to be the gansta version of L.L., minus the gansta. Keep savin’ NIMBER’S NIGGA! Ol’ Nelly…thick ass Ashanti put life back in that nigga. Bow Wow Wow, please! How you gonna defend another nigga when he right there to defend hisself, start talkin’ s**t, and then call on your bodyguard? He needs to listen to that Gangstarr joint. Soulja Boy-somebody need to Tell ‘Em not to answer his door at 4 in the morning. Asher Roth…the college joing was cool but that’s it. Em is enough. Fat Joe been around long enough to remain fat. When hardcore nigga’s start going for the smooth groove’s it’s time to hang it up.

well, well! some body had the balls to say it besides me, tupac is highly over rated. yes, he was a great mc but he only rapped for 5 years and all that ‘thuglife’ talk must have came from some where else cause he began getting arrested AFTER his first release.

and wayne, who USE TO BE one of the hottest rappers, now can put anything down and it’s “hot”.

the thing about soulja boy is he is a smart business person, a rapper he is not.

officer ricky is a good story teller but stories is all they are.

bow wow will never be able to break that ‘i was a kid rapper’ thing. i mean wayne started as a kid, but it was gutta gutta even then; bw start with puppy love.

jj is just a character, funny dude.

if there were never a big pun, we wouldn’t even know fat joe.

nelly, not hot on the music tip, but smart on the business side.

need more time on asher, heard some of his freestyles; sounds pretty good to me.

and plies, he a goon but….something just don’t fit. but i have actually bought all his albums.

ey, ey, ey! dont b dissin fruity loops. i made mad hot beats on that.say what u will about solja boy n da rest of them, u right about that. but dont diss fruity loops!

Pac???? This must be a typo… 2Pacalypse Now and Strictly 4 my Niggaz were classics from start to finish. Everybody on the east coast rides Biggie about telling the “real street” life Pac painted pictures. Before Jay Z’s Hard knock Life, there was Brenda’s Got a Baby. This is banana’s yo! Go listen to Pac before Death Row and see if you still think that!

all of them sucks accept for BIGGIE

Man if u say Tupac is overrated your about the dumbest thing on this earth and thats all i have 2 say… you clowns cant be serious.

That list was almost right untill I saw Pac on there. No matter what you think about things he did or beef you disagreed with. Pac was all the way real and should not be on this list at all. what rapper you know really has the guts to shoot two off police officers. Just face it TUPAC and BIGGIE THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME

Ha… pac and no 50? Dude dont post no more articles EVER!!!

MAN EVERYBODY WANTS TO BE A CRITIC AND WHO EVER WROTE THIS PROBABLY HAS NOT HAD A HOT SUBJECT OR SOMETHING FACTUAL TO TALK ABOUT SINCE THERE INDUCTION OF BEING A JOURNALIST. GET REAL. ESPCIALLY MENTIONNG PAC. I GUEST YOU KNOW THE MEGA MILLIONS NOW HUH! STOP PLAYING URBAN DAILY YOU SHE BE BOYCOTTED FOR SUCH ASSUMPTIONS

who ever put pac on there should jump off a buildin head first and kiil themselves if pac was still alive a lot of these bull s**t ass rappers would not be here or they would of been xposed by pac

its 2 pac hands down i love biggie smalls but 2 pac put out more movies and records then biggie and still have s**t out ready to be release come on now 2 pac was our MALCOLM X of hip hop rip pac and all other’s who die from black on black crime lets make achange for oursleves and our children peace.

are you crazy your crediblity is seriously lacking to even mention PAC with those other clowns

2 pac is not overrated but alot of rappers thats wack tight now are

YES, thanks for puttin Wayne’s whack azz and Pac’s straight up frontin behind on the list. Both are marketable and had some talent, but sincerely overrated. Be real about things, Pace never went to jail until AFTER he rhymed about the streets. He was an actor/dram student at a performing arts school. He was not a thug…he grew up tough, but many people do!!! Give Pac credit for being a port and lyricist, not that other BS he was rippin.

In no particular order (the numbers are there so you know who I’m talking about) here’s a list of 10: 1. Bow Wow (who will never escape that Teeny Bopper stage), 2. Lil Wayne (who is a punch line rapper, he has no subject matter, like does he ever talk about one subject NO he just get in the booth and rap) 3. T.I. (King of the South?) Not even, who is all in the south? UGK, 8 Ball & MJG, Scarface “oh but he’s king of the younger generation” that’s just some BS, Outkast, he’s not better than 3000 or Big Boi period. 4. Jay-Z (sorry he’s nice really but he’s not as great as he was, Vol. 2 was his best work hasn’t been good since), Kanye West (when he first came out he was good now he’s like the Kobe Bryant of rap, he’s over arrogant) 5. Plies (all his song are about Shawty’s or Bust It Baby’s, I mean damn can u rap about something else? 6. 50 Cent his first major album was the ish, but after his Diamond sales he got the big head and thought everything he put out would be good, record sales don’t mean you can rap, no dis to Soulja Boy but he has no lyrical content and he went platinum. Hell Chingy first CD sold 3 Mil does that mean he can rap? My point exactly. That’s about all can’t think of anyone else. Tupac over rated? WTF is your problem guy. No he wasn’t lyrical but he had flow and talk about real events, like real life, not this bling bling crap if he was still alive the game wouldn’t be what it is now, you just don’t know how many people he influenced its obvious you don’t know how to write a piece look at the rappers you put in it. Nelly? Nobody gives him enough props to say he’s over rated. Fat Joe? When the last time he put out a album? You’s a idiot

and you know what i was thinking who cares about this dumb gallary as long as these rappers are feeding there families and doing something postive the selling drugs i dont care whos overrated they getting that money and i hope they do something postive with it.

i agree wit everyone except rick ross and pac. ross is nice regardless what 50 said..matter fact..50 shouldve took ross place cuz 50 been makin a livin off ja rules style for yrs now!!!! WAKE UP PEOPLE!!

Again Another Crappy pole..Who ever Posted These polls know nothing about Hip hop..2 pac And The Word overrated shouldnt Even be in tha same Breath.Rick ross and Asher roth shouldnt be up here.When i saw jim jones & Fat Joe up here i thought u were on the right track.Then Jus started Goin crazy..

wow, Tupac was more of a poet than a rapper but you can’t put him in the 10 most overrated. That’s crazy. You also can’t hate on Soulja Boy. He is the present, and things change. But I will agree Lil Wayne is overrated.

I think this is full of crap to have 2pac on this list. I think he would have still be a great rapper if he was still living.

Lets look at it his way , who is in the gennnis of world records for sure its not lil wayne jaz or kanye even biggie didn’t make it their is only one rapper that did and the still the worlds greatest rapper no one willevewr touch im and thats Tupac wayne is garbage

The list is boo boo….how is Pac on the list? When that man spits, he has you thinking about your own life….what rapper does that now???? I demand a do over lol. Can’t believe this………

Man your credibility just went through the…BASEMENT!!! Soulja Boy and Wayne fo’ sho’!!! I’m from the STL and will give you credit for Nelly. But Pac, have you lost your ever loving mind…So what is clowns think Pac wasn’t as tough as he made himself out to be…who gives a care…the material he spoke on WAS REAL!!! Pac was one of the few that could deliver ‘street-life’ and real life to you in the same song, hell the same verse. See alot of you simple minded fools got too wrapped up in letting folks tell you about the streets. But str8 up street guys know how to pull fact from fiction. Hopefully you just added Pac to stir up some controversy…JOB WELL DONE!!!

WTF? why wasnt Jay z up here? how many times do people have to destroy him in rap beefs before your beloved camel falls? dissapointed in ya poll buddy……kill yoself!! 2pac!! #1 r u serious well if hes there put biggie up there 2. what your thought process?

Whoever wrote this article was dead on all the way up to Pac. I think u were sobber and not high until u got to Pac. U definitely had to be doing crack or meth or something. Man, Pac lyrically wasn’t the dopest ever but his style, flair and real lyrics definitely puts him in the top 10 greatest ever!

i bet white people mad this list, cuz it wasnt no 1 from da streets

DAMN DID U REALLY PUT PAC UP THERE? AND WHY THE HELL IS RICK ROSS UP THERE? NOW BOW WOW,NELLY,GAYBOY,LIL WAYNE AND FAT JOE AND JIM JONES AND PLIES I AGREE THEY ARE HOT AZZ GABAGE

nas jay-z biggie jadakiss tupac r tha best in my book

2 pac!!!!!!!!!!! are you f**kin serious if 2 pac is up there then who is the top rated rapper?

I see who ever wrote this isn’t afraid to offend people. the article should start off by saying, ‘in my opinion’.

Putting Pac on this list makes all of your other choices obsolete. Because you obviously don’t know what you’re talking about. Pac was a DON and he would’ve been a DON to this day. All Eyez on me, Me Against the World i’ll put those 2 albums against anyones top 2 albums and Pac wins hands down. Who ever wrote this article need their a@# whipped….pure blasphemy!!!

Wait a f**kin minute, tupac was the best rapper alive and dead. Man get the f**k outta here

IM WIT POOTIE AND SWEETIE! WTF? YOU HAVE THE AUDACITY TO PUT 2PAC ON HERE AND LEAVE JAY-Z OFF?! I SAY IT AGAIN WHAT THE F^@#!? YALL REALY NEVER LISTENED TO 2PAC OR J-Z!

OF COURSE IF 2PAC WAS A LIVE HE WOULD STILL BE ONE OF THE GREATEST LYRICIST AROUND. THATS WHY PPL STILL USING HIS LYRICS IN THEIR MUSIC.

IMMA PUT IT LIKE THIS NONE OF THESE SO CALLED RAPPERS WOULDN’T EVEN CAME THIS FAR IF PAC WAS ALIVE LET’S KEEP IT REAL LIL WAYNE ,JAY Z , LOL JIM JONES, HA HA HA HA SOLIDER BOY WOW!!!NONE OF THEM NIGGAS NONE OF THEM COULD TOUCH PAC NOT EVEN CLOSE SO WHOEVER DID THAT WEAK ASS LIST NEEDS TO BE SLAPED ASAP!!!

There is alot of rappers who deserve 2 b up here (Basically, all new rappers). The 90′s was golden, so no one can b dissed comin’ from that era except Fat Joe cuz he’s a fraud doin’ whatever 2 sell records. Every rapper has their flaws, however I denounce Jay-Z, Kanye, and Lil Wayne cuz they do come with something mind-boggling, and entertaining. Like one of the homies said (jetskibro), 2Pac was not been the dopest ever lyrically, hwever his style, flair, and real lyrics made him a immortal presence in Hip-Hop. If, that’s the case add Biggie cuz he spoke of make-believe nonsense. Truth is y’all can’t criticize Hip-Hop cuz y’all made it what it is today: Real MC’z is underground or banned from mainstream!!!!

DIS LIST IS OF OVERRATED RAPPER IS TRU.. BUT PAC COME ON SERIOUSLY LETS BE REAL BOUT DAT 1. OK NELLY IS DOIN OTHER BIG THINGS AND BESIDES RAP AND I STILL WONT PUT HIM IN THE TOP 10 MOST OEVER RATED PAPPERS ITS ALOT OTHERS. WAYNE I WOULDNT PUT HIM IN THE TOP 10 BUT DAT IS TRU WAT HE SED BOUT IT. BUT HIS S**T STILL HOT SO DAT DNT MATTA PLIES S**T BE REAL WEN ITS NOT ALL BOUT GOON DIS AND GOON DAT. DA REST ARE LAME. EVEN THO SOME THANGS SUD BE SWITCHED AROUND ON THAT LIST.

I THINK PAC IS COOL BUT HE AINT THE BEST. HE IS THE TOP 5 THOU….HES WAS A GOOD POET AND STORY TELLER BUT HE’S NOT A RAW SPITTER

2Pac shouldnt be on there…..yall should made a top 25 cuz yall missin a whole bunch of wack rappers who aint talkin bout nothing. but take TUPAC off that list Asap! hotep

Tupac!!! shouldnt even be on that damn list. wow!

take lil wayne rick ross 2pac fat joe off that list rap was once the art of story tellin now if u got a dance to your song not rap u hot BS stop talkin bout your cars,jewels, an start talkin bout what’s going on in the world like da pac’s biggie,ugk,geto boys,jeru gangstarr an jus about all old school rappers ya feel me an i don’t kno if he will read this or see it but scarface my man don’t quit bro. i’m from fayetteville nc. an we love da hell out you here like you said we use to get blessed to hear rap krs-one rakim pe so my words to you is keep droppin that hot s__t like you alwayz do so we can get rid of these singing azz wannabe rappers cause like my homey say if it ain’t from da heart it ain’t real and 100%

*agrees with your list*

Wow with the exception of tupac, I think most of rap is PR and fluff. It’s all about image and persona that’s why they get so caught in playing the part of gangsta they begin to believe their own hype. Music sucks right now the best stuff is from underground indy artist the rest is garbage.

wow that list is some what foolish pac,wayne,nor ross should be on there and asher roth is new to the game and dude spits some sick s**t cause i got the mixtape he aint tryna be nothing like em and thats real plies is like tha new ll cool j to me but he make songs for the niggas to now soulja boi should mos def be on that list but bow has respect in the rap game and lyrically he has stepped up hip hop has changed ovaer the course of years and its gonna keep changin like kid cudi say its 50 ways to make a record

You know what!! 2PAC was a great MC….wait still is!!! I am just mad a the brother for doing all the stupid stuff that got him killed!! That Dude was Nice!!! Check the Dear Mama rap!! That s**t was REAL!!!!!! I don’t give a s**t about the rest!!! I am old school so I love the OG!!! get a legend list together and let chat about that too!!!

Black Planet must be ran by some dumb-ass monkeys or something. For yall to put The greatest rapper of our generation Tupac Shukar on this bogus-ass list of most overreated rappers is assanine to say the least. Tupac transcinded generations, ethnicity and social classes. His name is synomous with rap. I’m closing my BP account immediately and I suggest that everyone else does too due to the high level of stupidity shown by BP for putting Pac on that list.

Tupac? Influential, but wouldn’t be that good if he was still living? Are you serious? Who composed this list? I can think of a bunch of artist that should have been on this list other than Tupac, like Jay. I can tell what type of point of view the author came from praising Jigga. Hov may have put it down, but wouldn’t have had a chance if Pac or Big had lived. I think Pac still has a long anticipated album coming out this year. I’d hate to imagine how many hits he’d have on top of the ones he’s already dropped after his death, if he was still alive. Or is he? (LMAO)

alll the other rappers are wack.2 pac should not be on that list.

who isn’t overrated on some level or another?as for souljah boi….where im from,playin him on a regular keeps my 17 yr old,his cousins and peers out of a lot of trouble because their too busy trying to come with better moves(hey wateva works,and im pretty sure he is geared toward that age group,do i need to say kris kross and embarrass some folks?)

WHAT? ok i was with u till u got to pac? are u serious? Now quick question, is this a list of ur opinion, or was this sum kind of poll? But either way every one is entitled to there own, but WOW, i cant believe pac made tha list?

Lol this the most bulls**t list i eva seen in my life the KKK must of made this s**t lol take it down.

YOU HAVE TO BE INSANE TUPAC IS ONE OF THE BEST RAPPERS EVER NOT BECAUSE HE DIED AT A EARLY AGE BUT BECAUSE HE RAPPED FOR THE LOVE OF IT. THE MONEY COMES ALONG WITH YOUR SKILLS. I AM MORE THAN SURE IF HE DIDN’T PASSAWAY HE WOULD OF CONTINUE TO PROVE HE IS ONE OF THE BEST. SO MANY TEARS, DEAR MAMA, TEMPTATIONS, LIFE GOES ON, DO FOR LOVE…I CAN GO ON BUT THERE NOT ENOUGH SPACE. TUPAC SHOULD NOT BE ON THIS LIST. EVERYONE ELSE IS PRETTY MUCH ON POINT. PEACE & LUV

TUPAC should never eeeever!! be
on this list. I’m 41 years old
and heard all types of rappers
since the 80′s and Tupac is one
of the great ones!!!!

ohhhh myyy gooodness. I agreed with the list until the end. black planet is hella boostie. 2pac?! wtf?! i dont get it.

are u freakin kiddin me? Tupac is one of the greatest rappers Lil wayne yea I can understand he is over rated but Tupac? Come on u got to be serious and re do that for real cuz this aint even funny. if he was around today yea he would be still hot cuz I know he wouldn’t be rapping about “and superman that hoe” come on now be for real Tupac is one of the best!

TOP OVERRATED RAPPERS
RIHANNA
—>JAY Z

This list is an embarrassment to all who believe in rap! You can clearly tell that the person whom wrote this s**t, doesnt know about rap at all. He most likely listens to rock or some s**t.

WTF!!!! Who did the voting I no, no one from blackplanet. Tupac is one of the best.

This is a true blow to a lot of the accomplishments these minority men have gotten. Especially Tupac, how could anyone say he is overrated, when his music published and underground is influential to most people. What he wrote and said had life meaning…which is were hip-hop derives from. The expression of life through words. Whoever wrote this needs to do a little more research on the development of hip-hop and then republish. This article is just redundant!

who the hell is that white boi

lil wayne 2pac and piles shouldn’t been on that list they can ryme about anything and get paid

BULLS**T, LEAVE FAT JOE, BOW WOW AND TUPAC OUT OF THIS BOW WOW HAS BEEN ON THE MAP SINCE Dr.DRE CHRONIC ALBUM” I WANNA BE A MUTHA FUKIN HUSTLER” HALF OF YALL HAVE NO CLUE WHAT IM TALKIN BOUT, FAT JOE HAS PROVED HIMSELF AND WAS OUT WHEN LIL WAYNE WAS JUST LIL, AND AS FOR TUPAC F**K WHOM EVA WROTE THIS WHOLE BULLS**T ASS S**T…S**T THE REST OF THE MCS WHATEVA MAYBE UR RIGHT REMEMBER THIS…RAP MINUS LIES EQUALS HIP HOP HOLLAAAAAAAAAAA

i agree with most of that list, cause nost of those clowns have based there career off of someone elses!but i really disagree with everyone involed inside the process of picking the list when it comes to pac!?!are u crazy,dont u see the void pac and biggie left in the music world.we’re still waiting for some one to open there mouths and present smiliar genious,its got to be some sort of conspiracy rigth?lol!

rap is not what it use to be,rap use to be wrote up from the heart,rap was made up by day to day life that they lived,but todays rap is made up by how much money they got and how many cars they got and how big they house is and how many holes they can get with in a night,and not to forget the gold teeth and add up the rings and ropes around there nick.RAP is more about what they got and can get,and not about all the f**ked up s**t thats going on around in this world now today…..diamond1454

Peace fam, I agree with all those choices. In terms of being a true lyrisist, none of those brotha’s fit the mold. Pac was my dude and he spit the real fa sho, but I would’nt consider him a “lyrisist” he was passionate with his delivery and spiritual even and he got everybody in the hood to get tatoos. Thats right many people dont even realize that Pac was the first brotha to have tats in his video, the most popular was “ThugLife” on his stomach.Thus introducing the hood to the thug image to already ignorant ass nigga’s.Plies doesnt even deserve a response. for someone like him or Nelly to be popular rappers with their lyrical content and skills should tell us what we have become if we allow wack ass cats like them and a whole lot more to be the leading hip hop stars. The best thing Pac did and most powerful is when he held a press conference and told everyone to vote that bought his cd the dog pound cd and snoops cd. And shortly after that he was dead. Lil wayne is good with puttin his words together but he raps about the same s**t, if he would just change his content to something more productive, i’m not saying be a preacher but he has all these young men and women looking up to him and are highly influenced by what he says, so why do’nt he say more to help our community rather than the same old ignorant ass s**t that keep them stupid, alcolics, pill poppin, syrup sippin,materialistic nigga’s. I dont care how much money they allow you to have you cant rise above the condition of your people and in ‘their” eyes you will always be a nigga, and when they get tired of you they get rid of you and replace you. this year its lil wayne or wack ass plies, but dont worry they’ll have a new nigga next year to me kanye west is one of the best along with jay z and a few others but trust me its just a few more “Lyrisist”The real ones hardly get radio play the only s**t you hear on the radio is ignorant ass nigga’s, thats why they let you have all that money because they know yall dumb asses dont know what to do with it but give it right back to them with your materialistics asses more concerned with whats on the outside than whats on the inside. Youre nothing more than the new slaves. I hate the radio…………$pook

where the hell does Pac belong on this list he is one of the greatest rappers ever if not the greatest i do agree with soulja boy though…he is overrated.

TUPAC,tupac,2PAC! yall are silly, lol,stupid [really] fake,lost,cant identify with reality,slow,better yet ur credit is no-longer even notice. out of all these other wack ass nursery rymers out here and yall say the big TUPAC.WOW! ITS OFFICIAL YALL SUCK….

I THINK BOW WOW SUCKS AND LIL WAYNE IS NOT AS TYTE AS PEOPLE MAKE HIM OUT TO BE ESPECIALLY SINCE HE BEEN USING THAT VOICE THING I LIKE THE “CARTER 2″ “THE BLOCK IS HOT” DAYS BETTER THAN WHAT HE’S COOKING UP NOW AND I THINK THAT 50 CENT LAME ASS NEED TO BE ADDED HE ONLY MAKE FAME FOR DISSING PEOPLE NOT EVEN LEGITIMATE DISSES HALF THE PEOPLE HE DISS IS JUST RAPPERS HE KNOW IS HOTTER THAN HIM

gay z
50 cent
souja boy
fat joe

shawty lo
master p

why the f**k would you put tupac on dat list u f**king idiot.if u put tupac.i think thatbiggie is better than tupac .but if you put tupac you have to put biggie on it too and nas and eminem . you f**king moron

yall, niggas is silly

Whoever put Tupac as overrated needs to be fired and not to do another article ever in their life. And the comment about if Pac would be great if he was still alive is hideous. If Pac was still alive the music he would put out to do would be insane. The thing with Pac was he got better with each album, unlike current rap stars. Ex. 50 cent, that fbirst 50 album was hot, but none of his albums after that matches the first. Pac evolved with each album. Just like Biggie did. So I am sure a 2pac album today would blow the wheels off of anything on the market.

RICK ROSS? TUPAC? THEM TWO HIT ME THE HARDEST. ROSS BE GOIN OFF TOO ME, PORT OF MIAMI STILL GOES HARD. ALL THE REST OF THE RAPPERS WAS ON POINT. ESPECIALLY PLIES,JOE,AND SOULJA NIGGA..NOW THAT NUGGA’S GARBAGE.

HOW COULD YOU EVEN PUT TUPAC IN THE SAME CATAGORY AS THESE RAPPERS.THEY ARE NOT OF TUPAC’S CALLIBER.TUPAC WAS AND STILL IS THE GREATEST RAPPER EVER. DO YOU EVEN LISTEN TO RAP(REFERRING TO THE JOURNALIST WHO WROTE THIS BULL.

4real pac? come on man who made this list? Do ya’ll list to music or do u just skim thru it? Pac that’s crazy fire who ever put him on the list!!!!!!!!! Seriously get that clown outta here..

yea what he say, whoeva put pac up need to get fired asap…
no bubble gum rapper like cameron , man just forget it.
just go and correct your mistake…

i have no comments on none of them cause i don’t play none of them music.i’m not knockn’em either.

The list was pretty on point till you put Tupac in the mix. That kinda grinded my gears. Tupac is not only a legend but a great lyricist. half the rappers on that list have used a Pac quote. If Pac was still alive..he’d be on Jay Z status. You guys are straight trippin on that. How about replacing Tupac with 50 cent!!

oh no you guys didn’t like tupac was a poet/rapper see the the thing is ya’ll are about hot beats and hooks half of the rap fans don’t even listen to lyrics!!! Its about the beats its very unfortunate that someone said that biggie is better than pac or vice versa they come from different worlds so to speak one was a straight hood dude with compassionate realistic lyrics and the other had a artistic/futuristic type vybe too many followers out there its sad!!!!!!!

Whoever added Tupac obviously does not know rap! How could Pac even pop into one’s mind when thinking about the other people on this list? Urban Daily you lost major respect for this one.

Whoever wrote this obviously doesnt have nothing else better to do after i seen Pac on the list you might as well say B.i.G. which he only had two albums the rest of that stuff is trash (All that crap puffy put out after Biggie’s death)Pac music from 13 yrs ago AllEYEZONME play dat ish and tell me you wont be nodding your head his music is still relevant today thats why he has the most imitators.

man this s**t stupid how do u have wayne and tupac on dat list come on man name who better

Get the HELL out of here Tupac,You sir is on crack,fire this BUM!!!

I can’t believe they had the nerve to put Pac on the list! Give me a break! Everyone knows that dude was wayyy ahead of his time! His s**t is still the realest stuff out and he’s been dead for over a decade! Wayne is or should I say was a pretty good artist, he spits a bunch of nonsense now, but he still doesn’t deserve to be on this list. Those other clowns are all well deserving! Not sure about the white boy though…I’ve never even heard of him…lol

Tupac! That messed up the list Are you kidding me! and then you credit Lil Wayne for Fat joes Success but also puts him on the list. Everyone else can stay.

Mann, whoeva wrote this Bullshiit needs to jump off a f**kin’ bridge. Pac, Wayne, and Ross are all hott, but they right about Solja Boy, he should been first, dat nigga is the whackest “rapper” of our decade, he shoulda stopped while he was ahead.

oK….Tupac is a legend…not overrated. I completely agree that Soulja Boy is very overrated and can not rap. If I have to hear one more dance song I am going to go crazy. Plies has no respect for women and very overrated. He is a talented rapper but could use it for more than demeaning women.

I CANT BELIEVE THIS CLOWN!…BP take this article down immediately… argue all you want but the validity of this issue is too questionable I believe this blogger or journalist just wants a buzz… from 2pacalypse now to Makaveli… Tupac got better so imagine where he would be and where a lot of these artist wouldnt be had he not been takin out the game so early… DO SUM MUSICAL RESEARCH BEFORE YOU EVER DISS THE G.O.A.T shouts down to this clown that put this article out

Of cousrse we can’t shove all of the wack rappers in a list of ten because they are waaaaaaay too many!! However I have to make a case for Tupac Shakur. There is no list Tupac should be put on, other then the 10 best rappers of all time. I’m not the biggest Tupac fan, but I’m a fan of giving respect when it’s due. As much as I love Biggie I can’t even make a big argument that his music is timeless… but I could a make a case for Tupac on quite a few songs. Does “Dear Mama” “Brenda’s Got a Baby” and “Keep Ya Head Up” ring any bells???

TUPAC!! overrated?
Is yall mother-F**kers serious!
Why don’t yall dumb f**ks just go back to that pipe yall was smokin’ on and just f**king choke and die. Stupid faggits.

why biggie aint on the list. this list is bulls**t

hey that muthef**ker who wrote this is an a*****e, to have wayne and pac on that list is stupid. pac one of top five lyrist ever and wayne is on another lever right now as far as being creative with his music, years from now look back and talk about wayne’s influence on hip hop.

than who’s the best??

LOL I am a rapper myself and i would neva say any rapper is overrated first and foremost. These cats used to be people engaged with the same lifestyles that we are all going threw. I respect every rappers Hustle and what peers they try to reach out for. HIP HOP was a way of exspressing urself to ur community and it still is. It’s just thangs done changed kids love to dance now, talk trash make jokes and leave the stress behind, now reminsce when we was young we did the same s**t, MC HAMMER, Kris Kros, Milli Vanilli, RUN DMC they made fun HIP HOP something to enjoy and get away from problems. Then U had rappers like THE GREATEST LYRICIST, EMOTIONAL SONG WRITING, HOOD LOVING CAT TUPAC who cared for a brenda, or any mother, brother, foe whateva he wrote songs for us to stay strong, LOL FAT JOE dedicated so much to HIP HOP threw BIG PUN, damn JIM JONES had us all buggin when he came out with that ballin TRACK damn i was in the club spassing out when i heard that track. I mean everybody is hating in some type of way on sum rappers cuz they are not all about the thangs they spit about, one thang they do got s**t they we dont have and lots of cats hate on it, there not ignorant for talking about materialistic thangs cuz 99% off us want what they got. Stop hating u C**TS LIKE REAL RAP, AND LEAVE PAC REST IN PEACE he did so much for us already and still to this day is. S**t REspect anybodies HUSTLE THAT U CAN’T ACHIEVE and U WILL ACHIEVE thats MY MOTTO
THIS LIST SHOULD HAVE NEVER BEEN MADE. TO EVERY RAPPER ON THIS LIST AND THOSE THAT AREN’T ON IT I SHOW THEM MY UPMOST RESPECT AND HOOD PASSION.1

my main thing here is i rate rappers on there ability to get me to believe wut there sayin. all rappers build on hype but its just you have to feel wut there sayin and not just the nice beat they got goin most rappers can build alot on being able to rap to a good beat. but you’ll notice there sayin the same thing in almost on every track. i like some of plies’s songs i think its mostly the ones not talkin about murkin someone but R&B tasteful ones or the ones tellin the stories of wut he grew up around n his family or wut his family has gone through he raps wit passion but he can also fall in that typical rapper category some times with his lyrics but wit all that said records sales dont lie so if they doin they thing who’s to say they wack,typical, or over rated

man, i was feelin this list til you put tupac on there. but im glad ya’ll but soulja boy, bow wow, and plies on there. they garbage

The fact that this article is getting a response is amazing. People about my age and older know that it had to be some dumb ass young buck giving thier opinion on this. Tupac is a legend in the game, without Tupac, there would be no JaRule, Plies, Wayne, and maybe any other poet/rapper thereof!!! Tupac, biggie, JayZ, Naz,Fugees, these are lyrical genious. Different, but all meanigful to millions of fans. What an idiot, you sound like you don’t really know hip-hop at all. There really are no “overrated artist”, to imply that is simple, and shows how little your writers know about the artistry of our culture.

I concur with everybody accept Tupac. Only someone who isn’t intellectually gifted could say Tupac was over-rated. He was not only a rapper but an MC a hip hop legend… and if you don’t know the difference between the two.. GET A CLUE!!

Is this some sort of sick cruel joke? Tupac on a list of overrated MCs? Fat Joe? Plies? Wayne? This list is BEYOND a joke. Granted, the only reason Fat Joe is this known is the publicity that was given to him by Pun, but he doesn’t deserve to be on a top 10 for most overrated.

u r terribly mistaken he is the greatest and always will b

WOW, THIS IS CRAZY. YOU PUT THE GREASTEST OF ALL TIME TUPAC ON THE LIST WIT PLIES AND SOME OF THEM OTHER WEAK RAPPERS? YOU SHOULDN’T BE ABLE TO SPEAK TUPAC IN THE SAME SENTENCE AS PLIES OR SOLDIER BOY (YEA I SPELLED IT WRONG, THAT’S SIGNIFICANT HE IS.) LIL WAYNE SHOULDN’T BE ON THIS LIST EITHER. THE LIST WAS DOING FINE TILL YOU PUT THEM 2 ON THERE. I WOULDN’T PUT ROSS ON THERE EITHER. BUT YOU COULD OF HAD AND ARGUMENT ABOUT THAT. BUT ONCE YOU SAID PAC ON THE LIST THERE’S NO REASON TO EVEN EXPECT A LOGICALLY DISCUSSION FROM WHO EVER POSTED THIS.

this list is some bullshyt to tell ya the truth…why da hell yall aint put no upnorth people? 50 is garbage, wayne used to be good way back but he went kommercial, 2PAC IS ALL TIME THE REALEST RAPPER,ricky ross is iight, yall need to think

Tupac to me was and still the greatest.But the rest of the list, I wish those lame mofos would them something else to do!!!!!!! FOR REAL

This fool who made this top 10 is OVERRATED. FAT JOE, TUPAC need not even be on there. and I liek soulja boy..yulllllllllllle

Biggie was the most overrated. the fat motherf**ker only made two albums when he was alive i repeat 2. Tupac was not overrated. Lil wayne is the most overrated now.Rick ross and plies shouldn’t be on this list because they from da hood if you think they overrated its because you ain’t from da hood and you don’t understand what they talking about. Jay-Z is very overrated. I say this because he a b***h nigga he get so many album sales because of white people and suburb nigga’s. When pac was making dis tracks about him he didn’t respond!!! he’s a b***h. Lil wayne is gay and if you don’t see that you must be gay or a dick rider. You stupid ass people give celebrities a pass on all the snitching, gay s**t, and b***h s**t they do !!!

How could you even utter tha words that Tupac wasnt and isnt the greatest rapper alive or dead? Thats crazy. Lil Wayne is one of THE hottest rappers out right now. His words may not make sense to you but to true fans, they do!

who ever made this is a f**king idoit if they say tupac was wack dumb ass bith

Why didn’t the writer of this bullshyt sign his name, so we can all know who this clown is.

Tupac is the best rapper to have ever lived. if you want to through someone on here, where is Biggie? Sorry, he is sooo overrated and dude only had like 2 albums and then died. or wait, one album, died, then another one. they were hot, but people act like he was Jesus or something. Plies is garbage. Lil Wayne is cool, but definitely overrated. And why isn’t 50 Cent on this list? Blackplanet must be a New York based company because the East Coast always sticks up for it’s own. Curtis is trash. pure trash. Jim Jones: Definite trash. I can’t even call him overrated because nobody listens to him but the East Coast. Jim Jones is the one who thinks Jim Jones is hott. nobody else. Bow Wow isn’t overrated: he’s nothing. And I’m from St. Louis but I don’t think Nelly is overrated. Not anymore at least. When he first came out, people acted like he was the second coming. Cornell hasn’t had a hit since Tip Drill. However, I never really considered him a serious rapper. He was just bubble gum. He was better before they got the record deal

Most of those are correct. Lil Wayne is a weenie. Check youtube for his confrontation by 40Glocc. There’s a difference between hot and not. And Wayne is definitely not. Jim has come out with somethin new it’s just not played like that “Ballin and fat Joe is still ill in my mind(he murked 50). Keep the great Tupac out of your smutty mouth though. And when you do get to greatest emcees ever you need to mention my name Biatch. Kode dont forget to say it like you mean it hookers!

PAC WAS THE REALIST RAPPER EVER..HOW COULD EVEN UTTER TUPAC WASN’T THE GREATEST…IF U THINK THIS YOUR LAME AND U REALLY HAVENT BEEN OUT HERE IN THESE STREETS…LAME BRAINS

I think that Wayne”s mumbling ass should have been #1, but you forgot Kayne he is wack. but Pac shouldn’t have been on this list for the simple fact like Biggie he could get down with any style of rapping

Why isn’t 50 cent on this list.

I agree wit the list except for wayne, his still is unique and different, but as far as tupac goes he could never compare to biggie, and he also was one of the fakest rapper ever… how you supposed to be thug life and a ol G gansta and you dancing as one of heavy d backup dancers, get out here fake, you tube for you folks who think that tupac keep it real….

TUPAC WAS WOULD STILL BE HOT,HE WAS HOTTER THAN BIG,JAY Z,NAS & EMINEM PUT TOEGETHER,RAPPERS WAS SCARED TO GO AGAINST THIS DUDE,BUT YOU WAS RIGHT ABOUT THE REST OF THEM OTHER DUDES!

1st off Pac was great cuz of his passion for tha art form and work ethic, 2nd Wayne is one of the best he has consistanly stepped his game up every album and been a well rounded artist as of late, if u don’t jus go off of what’s on the radio, 3rd U wanna get on Ross but what has Fifty’s last albums done?

Oh yeah and give Asher Roth some credit, he got a nice flow and he speak on what he know, and say some real s**t, peep his freestyle on the A Milli beat. As for the rest yall got it right.

tHATS RIGHT Thats right them joes is so over rated and u can’t even call them mc’s except 4 pac ya’ll f**kED UP on that but every one of them other charlie’s suck bro and on the other hand yA’ll need 2 do some thing for the goat the god aka J DILLA SHOW HIM SOME LUV MAH FUKAS SHOW THAT NIGGA SOME LUV

Tupac is and always will be the best rapper. He made music that had meaning to it. And whoever thinks he isn’t the best is lame and don’t know what real music is. He didn’t have to have high profile producers to make good music. His lyrics and the messages he potrayed in his music spoke on real issues. Not only was he a talented rapper he was a damn good actor as well.

Pac is on the list???? Are you kidding me? I can get with most of them rappers but Pac has NO BUSINESS being on that list!

AND YA’LL NIGGAS STOP S**TIN ON THAT NIGGA PAC THAT JOE WAS PRUE GENIUS A POET REVOLUTIONARY ALL THAT AND START S**TIN ON WAYNE THAT NIGGA SOME TIMEY LIKE A MAH FUKKA BUT A YA’LL JOES LIKE IT SO YA’LL MUST BE TOO

HOW F**KIN DARE YOU BP CLOWNS TO DISRESPECT THE LEGACY OF TUPAC YOUR NOT A CREDIBLE SOURCE FOR HIP HOP COMMENTARY STICK TO WHAT YOU KNOW BUBBLE GUM S**T.

tupac shakur was the bestest and realest rapper ever on the face of the planet if not the universe.i agree with you on all the other rapers and mcs but pac? really you have to be kiddin me. shakur was even a campaign issue during obamas campaign 4 the presidency that has to count 4 something. it tells you how relevant his music, message , rhyme,rage and reasons made sense then and still makes sense now. all we hear these days is women, drugs,bithes, guns, gin and juice and quite frankly we are getting tired of it. we need someone to come and rescue rap and hip hop. cos its dying , apologies to 2pac. please show some love and respect to whom it is due.we love you 2pac.

WTF is Pac doing on that list? He was one of the greatest rappers of all time! Wayne shouldn’t be on the list either! The rest of them deserve to be on the list!

You know, Its crazy how things work In this up side down world. It seems that always the people who judge and decide what’s good or not, almost always are those who dont have a clue. First off, Pac was one of the best to ever do It. (EVER)!!! And Lil Wayne Is one of the most Lyrical MC’s their Is. I don’t really have a beef with the other cats you posted. Except for Fat Joe. Joe has dropped some tight joints In his time. He shouldnt have made the list. What I want to know Is, who came up with the picks and how did they choose. Most would say, 8 out of 10 aint bad. But what killed It Is the two you selected. So, whoever Is doing the choosing, please get at me, I would like to hear what you have to say about why you felt the way you feel. Maybe you can make me understand your view. Because at this point, Im willing to bet blood that you’re not a true pupil of RAP!!!!! Im waiting to hear from you.
5ft’r

BP gets a 9 out of 10. 2Pac already had what multiple albums out before he died… and he was already respected as an artist….

Hate to say it but Big was the one that was signed to Puff9the guy who can’t maintain a hip hop artist for more than 1 album). I think BIg may have been the one to fall off.. and not because of lack of skill because he was cool…. but because of his choice of business partner

I agree with this 8/10. Wayne has history, not like Run DMC history but we have watched wayne transform from a “Hot Boy” to a “Rock Star” before he began this transformation and the “syrup” and everything in that category, he was liked (for his style,lyrics and his self period) by damn-near everyone so I think he does not need to be on this list. NOW ON TO PAC! I think whoever made this post was trying to get many responses by putting him on there, I mean if you put Pac on there then you should have put Jay-Z, Biggie, and so many more and I could honestly put Jay-Z with wayne if it really came down to it but lets be real; there is no way in hell Pac (out of the 1 million *and steady counting* FAKE rappers it is now days) should have been on this list! This is an outrage lol

I agree if Pac was here he wouldn’t be hot to me he was fake you get locked up you crying like a girl get out and you yelling thug life how can you go from the humpty dance to thug yeah he had some hits but so did tone loc and young mc and hammer so do we add them to the greatest of all time list I don’t think so top 5 KSR-1,Rakim,Nas,Jayz,Common

I can agree with most of your choices, EXCEPT 2Pac and Lil Wayne…

What the hell is wrong with you dude??????????????????????? Tupac and Biggie are the best rappers ever. I believe that Tupac made rap music worth listening to in the early days of rap. How can you put Tupac in the same list as jim jones and plies. You certainly don’t know what you’re talking about. Tupac shakur is really the 2nd best rapper in the history of rap only to Biggie(Thanks for not putting Biggie on this list). How can you say that if Tupac didn’t die he wouldn’t be as good as he is today?? So you consider Tupac as garbage like fat joe and plies. Get outta here. That’s an insult to rap. I think you meant to put Trick Daddy or somebody on this list. I know that was a mistake. Tupac is the 2nd best rapper Bar None.

Haters everywhere we go!! Tupac was one of the best rappers that ever lived. His mind was dimensions before his time, and he revolutionized thug-principles by teaching through his rhymes. True enough, he was not the first to do it, but he did it in a time where old school was not reaching out the young school, and vice versa. Had he lived, the industry would be getting that same physique with a positively motivating passion for the power of lyrics. Tupac earned his props. I love Lil’ Wayne, and support anyone else who is out there doing their thing, because it is easy to criticize when you don’t wear the shoes. At least those people who are the “Top 10 lames” are making their paper. The rhyme matters, but there is a such thing as respect and constructive feedback. What is it that makes these 10 the worst, because in my opinion, you picked some good musicians.

I agree with the list except 2Pac…..Lil wayne is garbage for dissing KRS-ONE (The Teacher)

EVERY ONE HAS TALENT AND IF YOU MAKE IT IN THE MUSIC GAME MORE POWER TO U.

only reason everyone saying pac shouldn’t of been on the list is because he’s dead but be real with yourself jay z fell off major, nas falling off and you really think after listening to young jeezy you still be listening to pac lmao yeah right. but theses cats made what rap is today so you really can’t hate on that but you can judge their skillz. and Wayne is raw if I must say so my self he ain’t the best though he’s far from it its all about LUDACRIS my dude ya heard

URBAN DAILY YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!!!! THIS ARTICLE IS A JOKE RIGHT?! FIRST WHO THE HELL ARE PLIES & ASHER WHATEVER? AND HOW DO INCLUDE A ONE HIT WONDER LIKE SOULJA KID & HIS DUET/FEUD PARTNER BOW OUT IN ANYTHING THAT HAS TO DO WITH MCs? WHAT THE HELL KINDA S**T IS THAT? YALL ALMOST MADE ME CANCEL MY SUBSCRIPTION, WITH THAT STUPID AZZ ARTICLE.

i agree with street team 50snitch should have been on this list. you mean to tell me 50snitch is better than pac? who ever made this list don’t know s**t about rap. i can’t believe someone is paying you for your comments. i hope you are doing this just to get people to react to this bulls**t. you really don’t believe what you wrote. do you? do you?

i think this article is bulls**t i have heard that some of these rappers like solja boy have been the claimed reason for killing hip hop but then you claim our black men ain’t doing nothing but joining gangs and going to jail they all took another way to get money and make them selves better so don’t hate these are fine young men so let them do thier thing or would you rather them shoot up ur house? cuz i guarantee 1 of them are from ur neck of the woods and to the poster who said who is plies tell abe lincon i said hi baby please get a tv and a radio because u must have been left behind PLIES IS THE S**T AND I WOULD B HIS BUST IT BABY ANY NITE NOW HOW U DOIN!

pac overrated man whoever made dis list dnt kno s**t bout rap he waz da realest nigga dey had out der all the otha kats fake as f**k

I agree with the list, all except Tupac. About 99% of rappers that entered the game after ’96 has Tupac DNA encoded in every bar. Tupac was and is still the Michael Jordan of rap. He was a poet, a revolutionist,…if he was alive alot of these garbage rappers such as 50, Soulja Boy, Plies, Wayne, Ross….will be somewhere working a 9-5 or in the streets selling drugs, not cds. Look out for T-Kay:The Truth. myspace or google him

this article left out, gucci man, flo-rida, mystikal, joe buddens, just to name a few and there are more, but its 2am and i can’t fully think straight.

I think its rap and hip hop has been dead way before lil wayne and the rest of those wanna be ganstas hip hop hasn’t been the same since pac and biggie

I agree with the list, all except Tupac. About 99% of rappers that entered the game after ’96 has Tupac DNA encoded in every bar. Tupac was and is still the Michael Jordan of rap how can you put him amongst scrubs? There’s none better, the closest is Nas. Tupac was a poet, a revolutionist, he inspired a whole Hip-Hop generation. He reached everyone from different walks of life; from the streets to colleges, the hood to suburbs, young to old, dumb to wise and if he was still alive alot of these garbage rappers such as 50, Soulja Boy, Plies, Wayne, Ross….will be somewhere working a 9-5 or in the streets selling drugs, not cds. Look out for T-Kay:The Truth. myspace or google him

Hey .. I thought all you needed was one hit..some of the rappers on this list is still makin that paper..most of these are doing good in their hood that they rep..And I think thats what counts..
All I know is the most under rated rapper/mc of all time is Kool G Rap..BTW..would love to see lil wayne try to f*ck wit KRS..just for the fun of it !! I noticed BIG wasn’t on the list..that’s a good thing..top 10 mc’ of all time..Let’s do it now!!
10 . Big Pun – “:I just crush alot” R.I.P.
9. Eminem – dem Purplepills…I got a pill like that!!
8. O.D.B.- Yeah baby I like it RAW – R.I.P. very under rated
7. Snoop Dog – for shizzle my nizzle..Thank Dre for this one !!
6. Tupac – that makavelli shiznit is classic R.I.P.
5. Jay-Z – H.O.V.A.
4. LL Cool J .. Longevity
3. Kool G Rap- most under-ratinest mc of all
2. KRS One – What more can I say
1. Biggie Smalls.. Priceless R.I.P.

some may agree .. I doubt it..thats why we’re all different peeps from different backrounds..my hood might be different from yours but hood is hood..between my list and the overrated list the article provided..there’s one thing I cant deny..I listened to all of them..they all made or makin that paper that we all crave for and to me they all rep Hip Hop in their own Unique way..Que vive La Raca!!long live our human race and long live Hip Hop !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!One !

WOW !! THIS LIST IS A JOKE. NO ONE STAYS ON TOP FOREVER PEOPLE GROW UP AND OUT OF THE GAME AND LET THE NEXT KING DO THEIR THANG. YOU CAN’T JUDGE PAC ON WHAT IFS. BUT WHAT HE DID WHILE HE WAS IN THE GAME. PAC AND LIL WYANE ARE NOT ONE HITTERS AND NEVER HAD TO RIDE ON SOMEONES COAT TAIL . PEOPLE USED LIL WAYNE AND PAC TO HELP SELL THEIR MUSIC.THEY BOTH HAVE MAJOR SKILLS AND THEIR OWN STYLE, BOTH OF THEM GAVE SOMETHING NEW TO THE GAME (THEIR ON FLAVOR). AND THATS WHAT MAKE THEM ONE OF THE BEST IN THEIR TIME. WHAT ARE THESE PEOPLE GOING BY ANYWAY, HOW DID THEY COME UP WITH THIS LIST. IN THE WORDS OF JAY Z (PEOPLE LIE NUMBERS DON’T)PAC IS STILL MAKING MONEY, LIL WAYNE IS ON TOP OF HIS GAME RIGHT NOW. AND WHO EVER MADE THIS LIST WOULD NEVER SEE THE FAME OR FORTUNE OF ANYONE OF THE 10 MEN THATS LISTED. SO SOMEONE NEEDS TO GET A LIFE AND STOP TRYING TO PUT OUR BLACK MEN DOWN, AND LOOK AT IT AS PEOPLE GOING AFTER THEIR DREAMS AND MAKING IT. AND LIKE PAC SAID ONLY GOD CAN JUDGE HIM(THEM)

selling and making a lot of money doesn’t make you a dope emcee, Krs-One said a quote thats so true about 12 years ago, “Mcs are hopeless, thinkin’ record sells make them the dopest”. To be a dope emcee you have to actually have skills, and most of the people on that list are over rated as emcees, because their abilities aren’t as raw as the media and people portray it to be, now if it came to top money making emcees a lot of there names could be on there. They are actually missing some other emcees on that list.

Why is Tupac on this list? He was one of the greatest rappers of all time.

I agreed with this all the way until I got to 2pac. Just for the fact that you put Pac on here discredits anything you have ever written and anything you ever will write.

Yeah what ever! Lil’ Wayne is image driven, not a true hip hop perfectionist. Image sales. It’s about appearance, swag, style,and being different when it counts. Common and MOS DEF are true artist. My top 10 most over-rated rappers are as followed.
1) Lil’ Wayne 2)Young Joc 3)Fat Joe 4)BABY 5) Bow Wow 6) Snoop 7)top three later

TUPACS THE GREATED RAPPER EVER .
F**K THIS ADD
JUSMAYS

it doesnt make sence doing that 2pac is a legend if you need to no anything about what is realy going on you need to do some history on the man himself in other words if his lyrics are not that great then why would the goverment kill him … ? he is no way fake no yourself…..bless

PAC DONT BELONG ON THAT LIST! AND 50 AINT KNOCK ROSS OFF! ROSS AINT GOIN 2 GO WITH OUT A FIGHT!!! ANYWAY Y DO IT MATTER! THESE KATS GETTIN BREAD SO IT DONT MATTER WHAT WE THINK CUZ THE SAME REASON THEY R HATED IS THE SAME REASON THEY LOVED!!!

With the exception of pac & joe(90′s fat joe at least), this list is str8 bulls**t.

I havent’ been a hip-hop fan for awhile now for various reasons but…putting 2Pac on this list??? Absolutely ridiculous. The writer of this article needs to put down the blunts…or the pipe, whichever…LOL

Tupac was hot in his time but, it is difficult to say if he would have remained hot in 2009. Age sometimes bring about a change. I know he is better than the ones that are posted.

8 outta 10 of these dudes on this list don’t even deserve the title MC. Dam I wish we could be back to the 90′s when nyggas kept it hood & wasn’t rockin no tight jeans & all this other phaggity shyt.

I agree wit all tha artist u got on thur but 1 if 2- pac was still alive rap would b on a whole other level pac made 4 to 5 minute mini movies n his tracks thats why people like him so much bekause we kould see tha world through his eyes
but errybody else on this list need 2 b thur

ITS BAD THAT YOU HAVE THE TIME TO KNOCK DOWN A DIE MAN NOW. BUT WHEN HE WAS ALIVE AND STILL LIVE TO ALL . HE IS STILL THE BEST AND ALLWAY BE BEST SEE ALL RAPPER LOOK UP TO THE GREATONE 2PAC WHEN SOME HIT THE BIG TIME OH AM BETTER THEN 2PAC. RAPP IS AND GIVE AND TAKE DON,T GO THERE PLZ HE DIE AND ALIVE LATER

and another thing f**k 50 cent he dont want it wit ross all i gottA SAY IS RICKY AINT NO JA RULE TWO QUARTERS BETTER WATCH HJIS WORDS B4 HIS CAREER GETS TOOK AGAIN LMAO

WTF Pac shouldnt even be on this listcause if he was living in this day and age he problably would have moved on to bigger and better things like most of the rappers of his time,as for everyone else its dead on but you could have added Snoop,Game,and everyone from G-unit

And another thing how about adding Biggie to this list.I hate to speak on the dead but the guy made “ONE” album and u wanna declare him one of the greatest rappers ever come on. Oh yeah add Mike Jones too.

WOW!!! I DIDNT EXPECT 2-PAC ON THIS LIST. I PERSONALY THINK HE’S SLIGHTLY OVERATED BUT NOT UNTIL ABOUT #25-#30. HOW 50CENT MISSED THIS LIST IS AMAZING TO ME. FRANKLY, JAY-Z MIGHT COME IN AT #11. I WOULD SAY NAS TOO, BUT IT’S NOT THE FAULT OF HIS SKILLS AS MUCH AS THE FAULT OF HIS BEATS. FOR YA’LL CRACK BABIES WHO THINK RECORD SALES AND MONEY = GREAT…LET ME EXPLAIN SOMETHING, RECORD SALES ONLY MEAN THAT THE MARKETING STRATEGY WAS GOOD. AND AS MANY OF YA’LL BUYING BOOTLEGS AND DOWNLOADS ANYWAY, THE SALES AREN’T EVEN REFLECTIVE OF PEOPLE WHO LOVE HIP-HOP. WHEN YOU SELL MULTIPLATINUM THAT MEANS BRITTANY SPEARS AND ROCK FANS ARE BUYING THE CD’S, PEOPLE WHO ONLY KNOW THE ARTIST OR SONG BECAUSE ITS PLAYED ON THE RADIO BUT DONT KNOW A TIGHT LYRIC FROM A CATCHY HOOK. AND NO DISRESPECT TO THE LADIES, BUT TOO MANY SISTERS BUY RAPPERS BECAUSE THEY’RE CUTE OR THE SONG IS SOMETHING THEY CAN SHAKE THEIR A$$ES TO AT THE CLUB. NO SKILLS NECCESARY!

NOW LETS LOOK AT SKILLED MC’S WHO ARE UNDERATED AND LYRICALLY RUN CIRCLES AROUND THESE BAMMAS. #1 TALIB KWELI..#2BLACK THOUGHT (THE ROOTS) #3 HELTAH SKELTAH (SEAN PRICE & ROCK MIGHT BE GREATEST OUT HERE TODAY) #4 KOOL G RAP..#5 BIG PUN..#6 PHAROAHE MONCH #7 JEAN GRAE (BEST FEMALE MC SINCE MC LYTE, HANDS DOWN!) #8 KRS-ONE #9 MOS DEF (WHEN HE AINT ACTING) #10 THE WU-TANG CLAN (PICK ANY ONE)

IT’S TIME TO GET BACK TO LYRICS NOT JUST PUNCHLINES AND LIES!

They forgot to put Nore on this list too lol. He was mad overrated until that garbage azz melvin flynt album came out.

That nigga Nature should be up on this too. He was mad nice up until around 2000. Now u barely hear a peep from that dude.

F****ts removed my comment! I don’t give a f**k I WILL REPOST IT! WHOEVER PUT PAC ON THIS LIST RODE THE SHORT BUS TO SCHOOL AND SINCE U ERASED MY S**T SHOULD BE SHOT IN THE F**KIN FACE!!

you forgot eminem and weezy should be #1

TUPAC OVERRATED?? Has this fool ever heard of “Brenda’s got a baby” or “keep your head up” or “Dear Mama?” This idiot either has to be too young to remember what RAP is or too white to know what RAP is supposed to be.

Well I pretty much agree with all the overrated rappers but Pac?????????????????????? He was and still is the best rapper ever out. His lyrics alone could over top any rapper out now or to come. Matter of fact just the refrain of his songs could top any rapper out. I love the fact that geodeo07 made it about race comments like that should make your tough get cut out for real you dont have to be black or white to appreciate the value of a great lyricist. Dumb yes but white no. I am saddened by all the ignorance in the world among my people and PAC WOULD BE TOO.

Who the f**k came up with this dumb list????????????? The truth is 2pac is the greatest of all time! if u dont like it goo eat a dick!

i can agree with some o this s**t, but like most, Pac is definantley not over rated!

wat about 50 cent ja rule you forgot about those b***hes

f**k you………..if you don’t know about things its better not talk at all men…..2pac men he is the only RAPER who read a book and change it in an albm……..how many hate snogs did he make even after his death………i can say on and on about him……

PAC ARE U SERIOUS. U STUPID MOTHERF**KS DONRE LOST YALL FREAKING MIND. IF ANYTHING U SHOULD PUT BIGGIE FAT HOT GARBAGE ASS ON THE LIST. AND BY THE WAY IM FROM LOUISIANA AND WEEZY IS THE SORRIES CAT ON THE MIC THAT EVER LIVED!!!!

I’m offended that Pac not only made the list but that it was obviously being debated and won since he made the last on the list. Who the hell else in the industry is gonna be positive about where blacks should be and still willing to bear arms if necessary? Everyone else is either a gun-totin, drug dealer with no rap skills and no sense of black pride or a rapper who’s trying too hard to prove he’s from the streets when no one has seen him in their hometown and they couldn’t tell you how much an eightball weighs. Most of these rappers wouldn’t show their faces if Pac was still around. Need I remind you that Jigga only thrived after Pac’s death. “Hawaian Soapy Whatever and several other corny sounding mother f**kers”…

hahahahahahaha…Lmfao….pac over rated, kill it…i dont even listen to none of those other rappers yall got on the list…i still listen 2 pac…a east coast cat mustve made this list….yall shouldve added camron & jarule to the list

I cant believe Jarule, 50 cent, Jada, Free Way and the list goes on and on. You disloyal ass b(*^# made punks add 2PAC. Get on it. Call some of your punk friends and borrow some of 2PACs cds and listen. I cant believe that they gave someone that evidently RETARDED a job to make a list like this! I pray that go loose your hearing….DICKHEAD!!!!!! @PAC in yo mouf foreva!

As the rest of them say;F/U. I”m probably the eldest of this group of young MEN that will not stand for the bs you’ve posted. I almost agree with you on these new school rappers but with Tupac Shakur, the bulls**t stops.Check you stats again partner.All this new rap is about the drug game or what type of pills and weed can get you high or either murkin a nigga. Tupac was over that s**t because his idea was that those other people(white Race) were out for all of us. Most of his raps were the same due to the fact that he was tryin’ to deliver a messege to the youth and over. Haven’t you listened to “Brendas got a Baby” or I forget the song which is very popular but i guarantee you’ll hear it on Mothers Day.How about “Shed so many tears”.It wasn’t until his so-called friends turned their back on him and tried to have him murked that the side of him came into play.How many of these other rappers were offered movie roles and succeeded in playing them to its fullest you DUMMY. To be truthful and to the point, it’s people like you that killed Tupac and his career all at once.
Today, Tupac would have been the tightest Rapper out there if he were alive.Just like i mentioned, people like you who didn’t want Tupac to cross that divide killed him and let these s**tty Novelty rappers in the game.Thats just like you sayin’ that Chris Brown is the next Luther Vandross. What a f**ked up dream state you’re in. To me,though everyone in readings site, HIP HOP is DEAD.
I only posted this cause i had to. “Hoodfather”

“You know this some bulls**t” they don’t even have the name of the person who wrote this bulls**t.Hello Black Family, they just wanted to get a rise out of us

U idiot for postin this, you outta be ashamed of your self u soldja Boy tell em ass arab fan….your opinion never counts on who’s how or not in the rap game……next plz

Its about time someone told the truth.And I think LIL WAYNE should be number two. He’s the real runner up in that cat..

Its about time someone told the truth. And I think LIL WAYNE should be number two. He’s the real runner up in that cat..

How stupid are you to put Tupac on this list. It’s obvious you have no clue about real hip hop if you put Pac on this list. You should never ever in your life write anything again.

You can put Kanye on this list and take Pac off…You can also give Jay-Z honorable mention and make him #11.He ain’t garbage but WAAYYY OVERRATED!!

Must admit, I’m a little disappointed that PAC is on the list….?!

is black planet crazy jim jones,tu-pac ,an kayne is way over rated what about 50cent an jadakiss black planet?

lol and you put tupac one of the most overrated whos verse painted pictures of what was really going on and if u listen to them now still relevant today. If u really know what he was about you would lay down your pen and never write another article.

GROWNING UP IN THE WEST TUPAC IS THE BEST AND THATS REAL

however made this list don’t konw what they are talkin about and to have PAC UP HERE IS A DISRESPECT TO HIP HOP U CAN TELL A DOLORIS TUCKER FAN MADE THIS S**T UP AND PUT FAT JOE ,JIMMY AND ROSS UP THERE TOO…….. U STUPID. whoever made this s**t up should take THIS BULLS**T DOWN.

and yet here the article is without the name of the person or people who wrote it….i wonder why

Daily Urban is on bulls**t. Tupac is a genius. Whoever wrote this needs to go back to school.

The Urban daily is really not on point. You guys should be shut down and set on fire! Youknow nothing about urban anything! This link was a waste of time. This site is a waste of time. Seems like 5 yr olds work here. SUCKS SUCKS SUCKS SUCKS! OH yeh, and you guys are not that good either!

Man, I would say somebody had some ballz for creating this article…but since they hid behind the Urban Daily moniker, instead of signing as author…it was pretty suspect!!

TUPAC WHAT 2PAC SHAKKUR…OVERRATED
WHAT DO U CALL MUSIC
IF 2PAC IS OVERRATED..
RAP IS CRAP CUZ THERE’S
NO BIGGIE OR 2PACE
DUMB AZZZZZZZZZZ

BUT LIL WAYNE.RICK ROSS
PLIES
BOW WOW

ALL SUCK

JIMMY SOMETIMES 2..

these rappers make money!!to the person who came up with this bull what r u bringing to the table?????

ok! All I can honestly say about this list is IF U GUYS ARE GONNA PUT PAC ON HERE,then Big shoulda been #1! I’ve NEVER thought that dude was hot lyrically! He was aiight, but never said anything meaningful or inspirational like Pac! I dont believe that even w/ this dude droppin like 5 albums BEFORE his death, could you say that he didnt have a chance to show how great he was, and BIG only put out 2 lame azz albums! How did 50 not make the list! He’s soooooo wack! OMG! Oh! And if yur gonna put Wayne up here, put Lupe too! Nobody knows wut Mr Unicorns & Rainbows is talkin about either! Ya’ll talk junk bout Soldier Boi, i aint a fan but, he’s definatly not the worst producer/rapper.. ie Timabaland! Missy is lyrically WACK AZ PHUK and she aint on the list! Ya’ll need to get it together over there! Dont express 1 persons opinion as the masses cause Im sure U have more people disagreeing w/ this list than anything!

Just because rappers make money doesnt mean they are good. I have all of Tupacs CDs. He tended to contradict himself sometimes. The argument, whos the best, Biggie or 2pac is too simplified. East coast/west coast, controversial, yadda yadda yadda. There are so many other people that are left out. I was asked that same question by my high school students. I said Rakim. They werent up on their history. Those 2 are easy answers that require no research or history.

I have never been impressed with Fat Joe. He got famous ridin the Big Pun wave.

Lil Wayne, hes the next convenient best rapper. Outta the blue comes the, “Lil Waynes the best” and everybody believes it. Its a combination of lyrics, message and voice. His childish voice and gigglin, and throw in the voice modulator, gets old quick as hell.

I would throw D4L into the list too. Unless they never got big enough to be overrated.

I would like my 2 1/2 minutes…tht it took me to read this…BACK!! This list was garbage!! Personally I dnt think Lil Wayne should have made the list…but surely 2pac shouldn’t be on here!! Get it together!! You guys could have clearly found sum real overrated mc’s!

Alot ofRappers these days are Faking Jacks like they are already rich. niggas write their songs believing that when the song comes out all of their Fantasies become Confirmed 1.These wanxter Rappers -Got all of these Bodies….And thier face on a C.D cover.

So this is For the Fans and Artists that support and promote the sound of Bulls**t Plopping onto the Dancefloor. peace Staxx Calhoon!

Fucc that yall niggas got 2pac fucced up! This must be a new york article cuz you can’t mention pac in something like this without Big. Big was way more overrated than Pac. At least you could understand what Pac rapped about. The s**t Big talked about was straight bulls**t. His whole career was made by Tupac Amaru Shakur. You gotta be kidding me mentioning his name with the likes of Soulja Boy, Nelly, Jim Jones, Fat Joe, and Bow Wow. Give me a break.

I AGREE WITH JUST ABOUT EVERRYBODY ON HERE!!! AND TUPAC SHOULD HAVE NEVER MADE THIS LIST!!!

The top Over Rated are Here

1.Lil Wayne
2.Boosi
3.Soldier Boy
4.Webbie
5.Plies
What idiot put PAC on the top?
you are f**king sick you tryna get Page hits?(YEAH)
6.Bow Wow ever heard his mix tape?..me either.
Oh God i cant go on!!!

I think the list is pretty accurate. I do think that “Snoop Dog” and ludacris should join the ranks of the most overrated. Snoops voice sounds like nails on a chalk board and ludacris has the same beat behind every song. WTF???

Rick Ross is Trash i heard he really from philly.i cant tell

Jigga Stop Fukkin wit these Lames

I Cant Front on Snoop And Luda My Dear Friends is a Beast if you know anything about Flow.

But i Do Agree Every Downsouth Beat Sounds EXACTLY the Same.
And that is Real.

Every one is playing monkey hear monkey do.Bitting is the Culture now.
rappers like Lil wayne they emulate him like lil wayne Emulates Philly Rappers!

A&R’s are Sloppy these days.
All of their artists are Drunks
and Horny W***emongers.

page 133 bottom of the page screename unrealthe2nd……took the words right out my mouth…yea Pac is Legendary cuz of the way he died and the contreversy he had BUT thats all that people remember of him.im not sayin he garbage or nuffin but he not as good as people hyped him to be…. he lived a lifestyle as a thug and gangsta but turned around writin poems and actin like he wanted the public’s pity. WTF BIG knew what he was sayin and he knew where he was goin when he died…not no thug angel s**t

pac you have gots to be kidding. He is the greatest of all time, he could flow street, love, and relevant material. If pac is on the list then Biggie is Number one on the list he only had 2 albums.

you people gotta be on some other sh-t, or ya just from the east coast,and a die hard biggie fan..aint no way you pac should be on there,if anything put pac got things the way they are now, ya tripping with one…

Who ever said Pac is over rated is a wee wee smoker. Yall say that now that times have changed. When he was alive there was no dispute of who was the best or atleast in the top 2 you know I’m talkin about Big. Last but not least Pac lyrics eclipse anybody you can name out right now so don’t get caught up in the media hype they don’t know what they talkin about they dick rided him to the grave.

ok who made this up, it must be the same people who keep thinking everything that they see is racist why i say this tupac “OVERRATED” who in the hell if it wasn’t for tupac there would be no biggie woould be no Dr Dre, Snoop Jay-Z, kayne and damn sure no T.I this must be a list from jackass i am. now everybody else on this list should be there along with the names i just mentioned, but Tupac should not be on this list at all.

Who did this write up? is it a joke? even I, being a strong white woman knows Tupac should not be on that list , nor lil wayne!

to the white girl who tried to dis poac u not blck stay in a honkeys place

Yea I agree, who ever came up with this list obviously does’nt know a thing about real hip hop

someone must put pack on the list to f**k wit poole or they just a sel out uncle tom tpa dancing ass b***h

everyone else on the list can stay but the uncle tom asss b***h who put pac on thier can eat a dick

I’D LIKE TO KNOW WHO IS THE ASS THAT MADE THIS LATE. SOME ASSHOLE OBVIOUSLY WITHOUT A RADIO, OR T.V BECAUSE THERE ARE QUITE A FEW ON THAT LIST THAT DOESNT BELONG SOULJA BOY FA 1 CAN STAY HE IS LAME…BUT PLIES, PAC,WAYNE,ROSS AND FAT JOE COME ON REALLY NOW?

oh hell naw all dis is bulls**t da only one i agree wit is bow wow and jim jones dirty ass but plies is fie and him and rick ross represent florida. and how could anybody put pac on here? are they serious? this whole thing is false and stupid

I really hope whom ever made this list isn’t getting paid cuz you flew with that one. Out the ten five have proven they got what takes hands down all aspects of hip hop. You must be a country fan or something.

i don`t care about the secular world stuff.but everybody has to make a living soo,grammies or not if a person can eat and take care of his.who needs a grammy?its just another idol that sits up and collect dust.shalom

I’m a muslim so I’m going 2 keep this respectful,I dont ever see 2PAC being out done w/ what he did-he was the TRUTH made flesh,and just like Jesus he expressed it.Lil Wayne cannot be discredited 4 what he does,so stop it!The rest of yo list is tru,its garbage. “1-Luv”

and than say as great as nas nas dont even go platinum no more nas jay f**ked his b***h and made a song dissin him bout and he went back to jay like a b***h nas wish he was live ike pac he wish he could take 5 like pac he wish he was arevolutionary pac was a revolutionary wat nas want to be nas aint been threw a tenth of wat pac been threw pac went threw s**t before he even was obrn beng born in prison pack had it hard before he even was born nads could even statr a black move ment pack could the nigga got the heart of soilder with a brian to teach whole nation listen to the song pain on all eyeys on me cok sucker

Oh no, sir (or madam) lol, whoever the hell made this list. I mean, I’m a WayneHead, big time, but that’s not even the main issue with me. Its Pac! How can you POSSIBLY even BEGIN to form a THOUGHT to start to CONSIDER (lol) that TUPAC is overrated? Nah, you can chill with all that. lol

No man, wait, I am mad about Wayne now lol. How can T.I., Kanye, and Jay (which I have nothing against any of them) make the cut but not Wayne? And if Pac is on here (ridiculous), then what about Biggy, P.Diddy, Lil Romeo, Camron, NICK CANNON. Why the hell isn’t Nick Cannon up here? I mean, wow. I’m upset. I’m upset lol.

Everyone you have on this list deserve to be on this list except for Tupac, are you nuts, if he was alive today he would dominate, just like the late Notorious Bigge Smalls. Tupac, was not just a rapper but a poet, he could be hard core, or just kick it for the ladies, and don;t forget dear momma, the song reaches your soul. Your Nuts do your homework dissing tupac is like dissing Bigge. Craig Mac should be on this list, he only made one good song. How many rappers put out more album when they are dead, than when they were alive? Tupac put out more quality album when he was dead compare to some rappers who are not on this list.

biggie would never be on this list are u crazy and tupac shouldnt be eitherat all!!!!!

why is a rapper who has been dead for almost 13 years now even on the top ten list with all other rappers who are alive….people show some respect….normaly when i see a poll like this i would ignore it but when u disrespect Pac something must b said….this man songs are still in rotation going on 20 years…what artist or group can say that….not jus one song but multiple songs….thats how far ahead of his time he was….rappers of 2day try to copy his style but cant….man im done talking bout this stupid s**t….yall done pissed me off

Tupac should have never been on this list! Who the hell writes this stuff anyway?

The late great Tupac Shakur should not be on this list, whoever put it together is buggin! Most of the rappers in the game are immulating that mans style and swagger. dont get me started on his extensive catologue of music. He covered all bases of life in his music not just the negative and flashy like so many before and after him. his music and movies are timeless.Yall get your stuff together!I’m sure there are millions who agree with me. take Pac off that B.S. list

Are you kidding me. Who ever wrote this BS. Is smokung crack. You going to put my Lil Wayne and 2pac on there. Get your mind right. First of all Tupac is the greatest rapper ever. And the rest of the rappers still living dont got s**t on lil wayne.

Da Princess

this list is pathetic…i just had this exact discussion yesterday, Tupac? are u serious??? Who made this list?? I love wayne but hes a lil overrated but cant NOBODY out do it like him right now. spo there is NO point in him being on this list. Asher Roth is a nobody!! About half of these people are on my list too. yall lert out A LOT of people, Gucci Mane, All the yung anf youngs berg, dro whoever, TI is garbage. Jigga up until about 5-6 years ago now mostly garbage. these rappers are tooooooo commercialized to pop and too corny for my taste. But tupac should have NEVER been on this list.

i got mad respect for wayne and plies….

You must’ve put 2pac on here to get a rise from the viewers… Or, you were just a bit too high when you put this out! There are SEVERAL overrated LIVE rappers out there to choose from versus speaking on one that was relevant AND dominant during life AND death. Disrespectful at best was this post. But hey, this is how writers/bloggers/reports stay relevant. You’ve got to get a rise from the readers. LOL

WHO EVER THE F**K WROTE THIS BULLS**T THE MOST OVERRATED MC”S WEEZY & PAC B***H GET YA MIND RIGHT, & RICK ROSS B***H PLEASE SOULJA BOY YEA I GIVE PROPS ON THAT,THAT BOY IS 100% PURE GARBAGE THEY COULD”NT GIVE ME HIS CD 4 FREE AND THAT WHITE BOY I DONT KNOW WHO THE F**K HE IS BUT EVERYBODY ELSE THEY ALRIGHT.

Who the hell is this sorry peace of s**t of a writer, and he has balls for even putting tupac in the same list of these other rappers

Someone has lost their entire mind for putting Jim Jones and Tupac on here. Putting Tupac on here is down right disrespectful! Soulja Boy should be on sesame street. I wouldn’t listen to his s**t if I was paid to. Nelly is garbage also but he did have a nice tip drill video. Believe it or not lil wayne is garbage, he has a place on one of the most hyped rappers of all time. He puts a bunch of words together on borderline beats unless he is featuring and even then he is rapping some booty ass s**t. He should beg for b.g, juvenille and mannie to come back and pull baby d*%! out of his backside!!!!

I agree that including Pac on this list was just plain dumb or simply to drive readers bonkers…Wayne is actually under-rated regarding his flow – his problem is that he is over-exposed…

wtf 2pac would be the f**king man if he was still alive if that gay-z still relevent smh the dumbest s**t said so far this year lmmfao ya dig

i love my husband Weezy that is my baby keep doing what you doing boo f**k those haters and f**k the media they all way’s trying to make people look bad love miss Carter.

man honestly wayne and tupac boy you rocking wrong but the rest of them i can see why yet they still getting paid either way so it dont make no sense to sit on the computer talking about em they get them whether you hate or not

I DON’T THINK THERE IS ANY ONE ON BLACK PLANETS STAFF QUALIFIED TO SAY WHO IS BEST OR WORST AT RAPPIN…i WOULD SAY THE SAME THING ABOUT VIBE MAGAZINE, SOURCE OR EBONEY..SO THIS IS LIKE ENTERTAINMENT TONIGHT..A FLUFF AGENDA.

Someone is a Tupac hater, because it’s no sense of stating something that we can’t live to see.Makes no sense at all. So you ran out of names or what? Matter of fact who gives a fukk????

Whoever posted Tupac as overrated wouldn’t have done it if he was still alive!

I agree with a lot of this list, but add me to the list of people b***hin about Pac making this list, had he lived he still would have been hot, in my opinion, if you differ then more power to you. Furthermore, if that is the case can the same thing not be said about BIG? I mean lets be honest. Lets not get on one and not the other. Pac had more lyrical content in one song then some people can pull together on one album… To those who disagree all I will say is “Keep Ya Head Up”

How ever done this article has it about have right, becasue first should have been Eminem the Elvis of this generation a no talent that steals and becomes popular cause his white followers out number the true rap populus and second should have been 50 cent an uncle Tom to the white boy who also has no talent just the white boy support. And while we on this race thing, all those white people with those remarks about their’s as well as our Black President, if blacks was to act black and slap the you know what out of them will get what they deserve and this ain’t the old America were hose and dogs hold us back, they better be prepared for what is instore, they left me a cracker, so I killed me a cracker.

2pac overrated? that is by far the dumbest thing i heard. who ever wrote this is probably a rapper who didnt make it.

ok obviously who ever made this list listens to every thing but rap ..this cant be tooken serious at all. pac and wayne ???? it takes a fool to not put those 2 in the top ten. putting them in this list= mental illness

I agree totally with this list tupac should had been number 1 all his fans are blood menbers.

Bull S**t

u people r so f**king stupid if u think pac is not the best rapper ever. u got 2 be smoking some s**t that aint hit the streets yet. pac is the best ever done it, lived it, spit it, and the rest of the world is in his image…. from:: chi town

well idk who even put Nelly in the top 10, and Asher shouldn’t even be on the guest list, Plies is whack, and Rick Ross…….HOT GARBAGE, thamks BP 4 letting me share.

i think some of the people that you have posted deserve to be on that list like soulja boy and maybe jim jones even though i still like him. but pac i have to give you guys thumbs down pac is one of the great ones. not the best but one of. and wayne is there but not on biggie and pac level yet but he’ll get there.

the only 1 that should not be on there is Tupac…

RU serious to challenge Pac’s Genius. First he was the greatest doing it when he was alive and still better thatn most rappers now, second if he was before his time then why would he not be above the game now……Just plain insane.

DAMN DEY ALL F**KED UP!!!! NOW THAT WHITE GUY OK! BUT PLIES WAYNE PAC AND ROSS DEM MY NIGGAS I F**KS WIT EM’I AINT SPAZZIN ON DAT S**T YALL TALKIN STRAIGHT UP!!!

ya’ll done fell and bumped ya’ll head on tupac..real talk! the man was a desciple..

I hear you j8yking Chi town stand up. I already commented on Pac and another thing who said that rapping meant every word had to rhyme. How old is this guy putting this list out and does he know what goo ryhming is.

oops! my bad..tupac was a (disciple) hi haters!!

Whoever put Tupac on this list does not know Hip Hop!!!!!!!!!!

man if u gone disrespect pac n wayne like dat u have no business writing about music, who do u listen to snoop lol?

I REMEMBER WHEN PAC USED TO PACK BAGS AT THE SUPERMARKET ON 112 AND LENOX AVE BACK IN THE DAYS HIS RAP WAS TRUE GRIT HE WAS BEFORE JAY-Z AND THE REST IF HE AND BIGGIE WHERE STILL HERE THE OTHERS WOULD NOT BE THERE RAP WAS ABOUT THER LIFE TERE CHILDHOOD LIE PAC SONG ANIT NOTHING LIKE THE OLD SCHOOL HE WAS GIVING RESPECT TO THOSE BEFORE HIM CURTIS BLOW RUN D MC HOUDINI FAT BOYS I AM OG 51 SOON TO 52 IF GOD ALLOWS ME IWAS AROUND WHEN IT FIRST STARTED SO GIVE RESPECT TO A BLACK MAN A BLACK BROTHER WHO WAS TAKEN AWAY FROM US TO EARLIER IN HIS LIFE WE DONT NEED TO DES EACH OTHER FOR OTHER PEOPLE DO IT ENOUGH SO ANY BROTHER WHO IS DOING HIS OR HER THING LET THEM GET PAID SO IF JIM JONES AND THE REST ARE DOING IT LET THEM BE OVER RATED FOR ANYONE OF THEM COULD BE THAT BROTHER WITH A GUN IN YOUR FACE LET THE LIVEEEEEEEEEEEEE STAY BLACK

Wow, how can you put TUPAC in this list?
Low blow…..and I disagree 100%

BP…Please Fire somebody A.S.A.P !!! Lil Wayne aint the hardest but the lil dude gets down! And Putting Tupac on the list…Like I said pls FIRE SOMEBODY !!!!!!!

well let me say if you are lover or a hater of music. there are some good music artist. and some bad music artist. we should;nt talk about how bad someone music is. i dont see you up singing about the world, and money and sex and killing someone. or how much dope the find on the streets that killing our kids be blessed with love from sunshine451

yo seriously

wats good

i know yall aint hatin on PAC. stop it!!!

Who the hell in the right mind would put the best rapper ever on here…TUPAC SHAKUR the man of knowledge, wisdom, and inspiration….

some of them def. needed to be put on blast…thank you :-)

WTF?!??!??! How could BP have the audacity to get on my nig 2PAC…That’s so disrespectful. The 2PAC stuff that plays now is stuff he made when he was alive…so doesn’t that make him as hot now as he was before he passed? R.I.P. PAC…Forget these fools!!!

lil wayne is weak as f**k, he be stealing r&b verse for singers, You got the game f**k up about pac. All these so call thugs in the game took pac not biggie. we all know pac is the greatest rapper of all times

Definitely feeling this joint. The truth needs to be told, with the current state of this watered down Hip-Hop Music, it’s about time someone stood up and spoke the truth. Don’t get me wrong, Pac was a hell of a motivator, he could inspire, and his flow was poetic, but he definitely didn’t have jaw dropping lyrical content and impeccable creativity. Now the rest of these characters are straight lame lyrically, and always have been. It’s a few guys who could definitely vie for some of those positions, like:

50 Cent
Gucci Mane

S**t Plies get me wet with all his songs… I dont konw what the hell PB talkin about… Plies is hot.

Is Blackplanet operated by black people??? Because yall definately do not know what you are talking about, when you put Pac up. THATS BULLS**T!!!HE IS THE ONLY RAPPER THAT WAS TALKING ABOUT SOMETHING AND MADE SENSE..He is the only one that yall are 100% wrong about!!THATS A F**K UP!!

All the bytches mad cuz BP told the truth about Pac…lol. He was a crowd mover but far from lyrical. I couldn’t see him today being as big as he was if he was still living. Yep and I agree with skillz991 said below Gucci man, or should we say garbage man, should of been on that list.

Good list for the most part…I’ve heard of people hating on Tupac before, but don’t really get that…he shouldn’t be on the list…Lil Wayne is probably the most over-rated rapper EVER! Straight Garbage… And Asher Roth is just some internet new comer…he isn’t known well enough to make this list…So, when is the #1 underated list coming out?? Joe Budden should be #1 on that list!! Go copp “Padded Room.” Just dropped Tuesday!

whoever wrote this need to be beat with a wet wash rag…have welts all over ya behind…disrespecting 2pac…

This was right on point!! Lyricist need to come back and this GARBAGE should be called out. Whole eras are defined by their music. What will future generations think we were about?

Someone truly made a mistake putting 2Pac on the list. Everyone that is against 2Pac got to be with Biggie. Biggie should have been on that list, since yall put Pac on the list. BP yall got to be joking. Man, I was shocked when I saw Pac. It is a whole lot more people that should be on that list. Everyone is titled to their opinion.

yall crazy puttin pac and fat joe on the list. if pac would have lived,we wouldn’t even have a thug movement. come on now. he had like 5 albums before biggie came out. he was the first hip-hop artist to drop a double album.(wu-tang and big did the same afterwards)he crushed all eyes on me,and did it again with makaveli. now wit fat joe,ill admit he is gettin at the ladies a lil too much but dass what LL been doing for years and his name isn’t on here. now you should have put soulja boy,bow-wow,lil wayne,gorilla zo,dem franchise boys,shanna(DTP),chingy,lil zane,lil romeo,and master p. i could go on and on but yall put 10 up so i matched it. stay up

Bow wow Is not a rapper but A image wayne does suck I dont think he use to right his rhymes cus they s**t hes says now be like what the f**k is he talking bout unless its the sizzurp lol asher roth who’s this kid lmao officer ricky is done hes stupid for goin head on with 50 who got his fame from goin in on everybody!!…soulja boy is for the kids so he shouldn’t have been on here he hasnt tried to cross over yet!!….Joe has always suck and ended up on 50 missing rapper list!! lol nelly must have got his eagle on and flew away cus that was his last hit lol!!…Mr bust it baby needs to make a hit song without saying bust it baby lol he needs to call his goons to make a hit on is CD!! jim jones is ok but yea since ballin hes been shot callin lol…And pac is the best and if not number two depends on who you ask should’t have made this list…. how about gucci man,bird man,shawdy low,diddy,young gunners,memphis bleek,lil zane lmao!…. Ja rule omg!!…all should have made the list instead of pac!!

For starters, Pac was a dope M.C. Slightly overrated lyrically; but he was a media icon which gets confused with being a dope M.C.

B.I.G. was a better M.C. but didn’t have the mass appeal Pac had.

Anyway, here’s my top 10 overrated M.C.’s

1. Jim Jones- Wack as hell with a group of wack rappers around him.

2. Soulja Boy- Rhymes wack. Dances wacker.

3. Gucci Mane/Rich Boy/L’il Boosie- I can’t tell ‘em apart. Get rid of them all.

4.Shawty Low- Even his name is wack.

5. 50 cent- Swagger jacked ja rule then screwed the style up.

6. Young Jeezy- Came from a wack group. Hides behind hot beats.

7. Yung Berg- Not even 80′s one hit wonder Junior could help his style.

8. Plies- What the hell do he be talkin’ ’bout? The dude makes up words as he goes.

9. Foxxy Brown- Bit L’il Kim style and won’t even admit it.

10. Rick Ross- Half his ish don’t rhyme. “Boss” don’t rhyme with “Boss”. It’s the same word.

Debate on that

You need to be slapped for putting Pac on this list!!

Pac should not be on this list. It’s ludacris!!!!

I believe this is about whether an MC is overrated, not whether he is good (or even “great”).

Tupac may be a good rapper but is he overrated as an MC? Perhaps, perhaps.

2-Pac?? Are you SERIOUS?? I think you need to re-think your list. You forgot some wanna-be rappers like Moby.

tupac shouldnt be on there. if he is on there biggie should be on there. saying he wouldnt be on there if he lived is like saying biggie wouldnt be on there if he was not from ny

Pac was overrated. Don’t think cause someone is “deep” that means they are a good rapper. Don’t cause you misunderstand his flow that makes him nice. True he was a poet. True he had plenty of times that he was deep and influential. But I could name at least 10 rappers right off my head right now that would destroy Pac in a battle, on wax or otherwise.
OVERRATED – problem is – most of the other rappers on there are straight WACK, and I wouldn’t say that about ‘Pac.

yep bout correct except pac I mean he wasnt has great has biggie in my opinion but he wasnt overated. As far has rick ross you gotta give it to hi he is lyrical but messin with 50 na cuz.

YOU SHOULD RE-WRITE YOUR LIST. TUPAC,COME ON LETS BE REAL.MORE THAN HALF OF THE RAPPERS TODAY WISH THEY HAD SOMETHING ON PAC. HES SIMPLY THE GREATEST. BIGGIE AND 50 (YES 50)SHOULD HAVE TOPPED THE LIST. 50 WANTS TO BE LIKE TUPAC SO BAD,JUST PAY ATTENTION TO HIS NON-TALKING A**.

In my personal opinion, 2pac shouldn’t be in this category!!! He’s considered a legend, amongst many artist!!! As far as, Lil Wayne and Soulja Boy, THEY ARE THE WORST!!The sh*t they’re doing isn’t, and should never be, considered ART!! Bow Wow should continue to do movies! Rick Ross is “aiight” with me!!! Fat Joe is still hot lyrically!!! As far as Asher is concerned, I never heard of him!!! Plies is somewhat biting T.I.’s style!!! And Jim Jones, WHATEVER!!!!

It’s quite obvious Tupac was added to the list to create a buzz. Any real fan of Hip Hop knows better than to think otherwise. So PaperBoy, Young MC, Tone Loc, and P.M. Dawn didn’t make the list. There was very little thought put into this list. I’m not a big Lil Wayne fan, but I don’t think he should have been added on either.

LMAO… HARD! STOP PLAYIN’. U PUT TUPAC A. SHAKUR ON HERE TO GET PEOPLE TO CLICK RIGHT??? I SEE YOUR ANGLE. DONT TAKE AWAY FROM BOW WOW HE’S COME A LONG WAY – STILL GOIN’. IM 25 BUT, SOULJA BOY COOL. CATCHY. CREATIVE FOR THE KIDS. BESIDES THESE THREE, I CAN AGREE.(SOME SONGS STILL BANG IN DA CLUB THO’)

I cant BELIEVE 2PAC is even thought of when asked this Question, yet alone his PICTURE be UP!! For someone who wrote MOST or ALL his material for someone who brought so much passion for years and never changed and for someone who got RESPECT from everyone not just from a certain crowd… TOP 10 OVERRATTED RAPPERS.. LiL Wayne x10 Man Bling Bling was my ish.. But that rapper has gone n went when his ghost writer left, his non-makin sense raps WAC, his T-Pain bitin style WAC, what is he sayin most the time and when did it become dope to not rhyme, only WU-tang can pull that off. Cant believe the public is lettin this guy SLIDE… Just becuz his DAD, I mean BOSS is spendin $$ FLOODIN the scene doesn’t mean we have to except it! And what kinda DUDE kisses ANOTHER DUDE in the MOUTH and how is this BEHAVIOR CONDONED in the SOUTH!! Im Out

That 2pac comment is bullshyt! He was one of the greatest rappers. Would he be great if he was still alive? YES. Would soulja boy, weezy and the likes be considered as hip hop right now? HELL NAW!

If MC means “Move the Crowd” then you need reword your this to overrated “rappers”. Anytime Tupac or Wayne comes on the crowd is moving so to say the most overrated is a little extreme. That’s what happens when dumb people make they own top 10 countdowns.

I am mad at the thought 2PAC was even put in this list. He was talented alive & his talent remains the same.
He will always be GREAT.

Well first of all Tupac is the greatest rapper of all time.Second of all plies shouldnt even be on the list now lil wayne should i mean f**k you are grown ass man still sounding like u r crying on a track and dis nigga is still callin his self weezy fuking baby i mean damn im really starting to think ur fuking baby. And then everyday when he wakes up he dont know who the hell is going to be a rapper a rock star or a alien but in my opinion go bak to fukin mars. And as far as Plies go that nigga is hot the niggas and the b***hes love him. He has his own style why yall dont like him cause u cant snap your fingers or do the stanky leg to his music.Plies is very lyrical which we havent seen a rapper like that in a long ass time i mean the best song of 2008 was lollipop a song about a female giving oral and thats what we consider hot come on now my generation has got to be deeper than that. Plies songs is about everyday life anybody can relate to it no matter what race or gender. S**t he his one of the few rappers who aint went commercial yet or jumped on the t-pain band wagon………….

?…Plies has got to be one of the WORST rappers in a long time. Merely rhyming words doesn’t make you a good rapper…He also doesn’t have his own style He’s from Florida and he ATTEMPTS rap as if he’s from Louisiana in Baton Rogue somewhere. He is extremely overrated. Its ridiculous how he can do an interview and actually sound like a 32yr old grown man with a college degree but when he raps he has to sound completely different…wack rhymes fake accent and just entirely too old

wow…..did i really see tupac and lil wayne on this list?? who came up with that great idea?? lmfao

Yo I ain’t no for real for real rapper fan, but I know a lil somethin somethin,you know what I m sayin. I think the person (or persons) who put together this list tried to seperate lyricist from rappers. That’s kinda hard if you don’t know the difference between the two. Doc Dre ,Em Rahkim ,LL and Tupac are lyricist. I wouldn’t want to leave out Wu-Tang(Sunz Of Shiolin) or perhaps Run DmC.

However rappers are the likes of Nelly(though I go for his style)Lil Jon .Soul Jah Boy, and 50Cents. and the Ying Yang Twins. Every now and then a rapper may say something important or profound. A lyricist, will almost always will say something important and profound

Just wanted to tell every one about a great show that happened recently @ the Black Swan 154 Danforth ave just east of Broadview…….anyway u guys missed it…..some of the nicest Mc’s come to this place…u can see some of the show on youtube if u search “fallen soldiers4″ “parocat” or “Zlingshotmovie”…do remember to come see Fluxmobb cd Release party march 21 2009 @ The Black Swan…check these videos….Mr Flowas can really flow Easy 4 real…DeaL wit the thing PROPER!!!!CHICK’HUP….dONT MISS THIS…. ONE LOVE

ok 4 real PAC????? ur fuking outta ur mind….now ur right about the others..but I’d like to note that fat joe is smart 4 being able to do a hook or 2 & still remain viable in the game…my 12 cents…

It’s so obvious Tupac was put on the list to get attention. I guess it succeeded. If anyone is overrated, it’s Kanye.

SOMEBODY NEEDS TO GET SMACKED…PAC IS THE GREATEST EVER. HE HAD HOOD SONGS THEN SONGS THAT EMPOWERED BLACK WOMEN…YOU NEED TO PUT JAY Z ON THIS LIST INSTEAD OF PAC

Of all people you place 2Pac with these guys!???!???! Oh, no no way!!! 50 Cent should be #1 he can’t rap, entertain& nor act at all. A complete fake and you even dare to put 2Pac on this wake list!??!???! Whomever thought this up should stop smoking the pipes..!!! Please……..

P.S. Stop letting 50 Cent buy your judgement he’s a big fake pumped full of steriods ready for someone to pop he like a hotair ballon… Always loving wake rappers man, sick of it all.

I think this is the most raw rappers’ I’ve seen yet!!!!!!!!!!!

hell naw… pac the best real rapper that ever happened to this planet. aint ever gone be nothing like that again..

Well true i was with it for the most part until i saw names like Rick Ross, Lil Wayne, and Tupac are you serious TUPAC is nowhere near this list i’m shocked that they even thought of putting him up there. I mean Too Short should have been up there. Ross and Wayne come out with decent music I’m particulary a fan of the sound you can get from Ross’ music it has a mellow cool out vibe to it.

again bp disappoints ..editors need to be changed very dissapointed again…shame on you BP

Stop hatin on SoUja if u too old too feel souja fall back…..
souja boy tell em
gucci aint fuccing wit em nuffin he is origanal got his own flow and he got skills

who the fuuuck writes these lists?! TUPAC?! are you KIDDING?

thats list is a bunch of bs

Tupac would still be a legend, Lil Wayne is RIDICULOUS on every track… please stop the madness BP

OK I WASN’T GOING TO COMMENT…… BUT TUPAC??? ARE F*#%ING KIDDING ME ! WHAT PART OF STUPID IS YOUR BRAIN STUCK ON. OUT OF ALL THE NO TALENTED RAPPERS OF TOADY & PAST HE’S ON THE LIST !! DAMN I KNOW THIS SITE NEEDS READERS, BUT THIS IS NOT THE WAY TO GET THEM …… WOW B.P. !!!!

This list is BULL$HIT who ever did this s**t should be slapped. TUPAC are you for real yall then fell off with this one busted your head to the white meat.

Whoever wrote thi5 li5t pa55 the ducthie my friend. Now I under5tand why Plie5 is on here. He’5 rappin bout another nigga’5 life 5tyle, 5hit he don’t even really know bout. And if he i5 5uch a 5ertified goon, why i5 he Banned from hi5 own home town? Now Pak and Wayne?! U gotta B trippin fam. Pak i5 tha greate5t of all time. And Big Dawg Wayne i5 the hotte5t in da game. Hotter than Jay-Z (Damn near 40), KANYE’ (kollege Boi), 50(Fake5t nigga in tha game), who name5 5hould all B on thi5 li5t.

I agree with all of the MC’s you named except for Lil Wayne and Tupac. Tupac is dead and he is still selling albums, need I say more. Lil Wayne’s word play is so sick, that always makes him stand out from the rest. You can always tell who Lil Wayne or Tupac are when you hear their verse, compared to every rapper you hear today, they all sound the same.

i def agree with the list EXCEPT FOR TUPAC AND WAYNE!!…TUPAC??!! ARE YOU DUMB OR WHAT?! HES THE GREATEST OF ALLL TIME AND DESPITE HIS RHYMING TECHNIQUES, WHICH I DO PARTIALLY AGREE WITH ARE WACK SOMETIMES…HES CAME WIT ALOT OF HOT LINES…AND HES DEF 1 OF THE BEST OUT THERE…BUT JAY IS THE GREATEST ALIVE…HANDS DOWN!!!!!

i dnt fukk wit non of dem ni66as except tupac, all, dem ni66as mad wack, plus most dem ni66as slo6s, im wit da 6, so i dnt respect none of dem, 6 pop 5 drop, all day ery day…so all dem ni66as wack like ai said…tupac is da shyt.

All yall beastin about tupac & lil wayne being on the list which they should be. so should 50, ja rule, eminem, eazy e, all them lame dudes. Tupac was an intellegent dude though but he shouldnt be mention above Rakim,Nas,Jay,Big L,Biggie,T.I., Big Pun, or even a young Snoop. Them dudes spit fire. Break out your old tapes/CD’s and compare. Dont think about the legend of Pac. Im talkin straight raw talent, word play, lyricism, and delivery. If you agree, disagree holla at me on cibrotha@yahoo. Conversing is the key to understanding.

any rapper that is not b boy is overrated, i dont listen to any garbage..lol.. if your name starts wit “lil” or “young” ur crap…

HOLD DA’ F*&% ON!!!!!
First of all we are all brothas’ regarless.. of Red Flag..or the Blue Flag, Please konw that. There are books that let you know bout dat SHT!!!
Who in the hell put 2-Pac on this 10 Most overrated MCs’… and biggie is the greatest… ? Who ever wrote this is on the pay roll of the one who sent the white house that watermelon E-mail. And you dont’ understand…so there is nothin’ to say… Because Uncle Charlie..don’t like 2-Pac.. Now we dont’ like 2-Pac…. How dare ya’ll put Pac in the Top 10…
BOOM!!!!

I agree with this list cuz its right on point. Fat Joe didnt get big untill “Lean Back” which came like 14 yrs AFTER he came out, Lil Wayne is a str8 bytch, point blank. As far As 2Pac goes, he’s only gettin props cuz he’s dead. The Rest of the list need 2 go back 2 the lab and watch REAL MC’s Get down

FIRST OFF SOMEBODY MUST BE LOST TO PUT TUPAC IN LIST LIKE WHEN I WAS LISTENING TO PAC CD I DIDNT HAVE SKIP A SONG ,BUT OTHERS THAT THEY SAY ARE THE BEST TRASH IT

TUPAC HOW DARE YOU PUT HIM ON THIS LIST YOU NEED TO PUT THE PATRON DOWN AND TRY IT AGAIN

I love Plies and yes all the females want to be his Bust It Baby, but at least when he makes songs for da ladies, he gets dirty with it and makes ya want it, unlike alot of rappers now. But you got to give props to Plies and Lil Wayne, he may be all tatted up and not make since alot of the times, but if you sit there and pick apart both of their songs and albums get the real meaning of s**t

Whoever put Tupac on had to try to squeeze him in at the end where they thought no one would notice.. Tupac’s albums are still relevant after a decade.. FYI, Tupac was hot before he died.. To say that he would be garbage if he was alive proves whoever wrote this lacks foresight.. 50, D4L, etc. should be on this list..

dude is a hater pac music still harder then most of the rappers out 2day if he was still alive jay z wouldnt b wer he at most of dem cats b mailnvoid its always a hater out ther 2 talk dis trash dats y pac the best dat done it n the rap game period wont nobody have as much impact as him never ever

i can’t believe ya’ll had the nerve to diss Pac like that. ya’ll put him in the same category as soulja boy! why wasnt big in there then he didnt live either homie. haters!!

Whoever the fool is that put PAC on this list need to quit life…ya credibility is shot dude.

Anybody who’s well versed & understands Hip Hop with any depth knows that 2Pac’s appeal/legacy was just as much what he represented and HOW he represented it, as it was about his lyrical content/wordplay.

Pac had a way of speakin to the soul that very few musicians in history have been able to do or duplicate. He wasn’t a lyrical acrobat and i doubt he tried to be. But comin from HIS angle…he was bar none the best at what he did.

Somebody in ya’lls department need to go back to class.

You had me all the way until i reached #10 yes 1-9 is hot garbage as you so candidly put it but Mr. Shakur is not i repeat is not just hype as red spyda put he was hot when he was alive and remains one of the best there is period!!!!!!

who in the hell put Pac on the list yall nee to fire his ass.You telling me that none of G-Unit makes this list. What about Vanalla Ice you idiot.

who in the hell put Pac on the list yall need to fire his ass.You telling me that none of G-Unit makes this list. What about Vanilla Ice you idiot.

Pac was the greatest rapper that ever lived. His lyrical content challenged us to think, motivated us to do better, and shed light on society’s injustices. “Who knows what tomorrow brings in a world where everyone’s blind. Where to go, no matter how far I’ll find, to let you know that you’re not alone. Born black in this white man’s world.” TUPAC

By the way “…the Lord knows…

To the brainchild who made this list, please log onto http://www.killyourself.com and follow the instructions. You should never be allowed to write anything ever again.

i agree with all your pics but tupac,

ok i agree with all but two lil wayne and tupac what where you sniffingwhen yo made this list whoever did this list needs to go to rehab abd get fired what about vanilla ice lil flip baby of cash money where were these bums c-murder of no limit wait his brother silk the shocker all of whom suck

Different strokes for different folks. Some cats love the rhymes that suit their enviornment. example, cats that are out sellin’ dope all day might find Gucci mane, Ricky ross, and Jeezy, to be da sh!t. While cats that on that swag sh!t might like T.I., Jay Z, or Kanye. So, If you a teenage chick Soulja Boy Tell’em gonna be your boyfriend. Hip hop is like black folks. THERES ALL DIFFERENT KINDS OF IT. sucka.

I agree with everything except Tupac he would have still been the greatest ever!!! o yea and I don’t think Lil Wayne is as gangsta as he say he is but he does clever word phrases whoever wrote this is fuc*ed up !!!

WTF!!?? are you serious you put tupac on this list what the hell were you thinking about everyone else yea but not pac

HOW COULD YOU EVEN PUT TUPAC WITH THESE FAKE A** NEW BOOTY, NON RAPPIN FOOLS? TUPAC IS AND ALWAYS WILL BE THE GREATEST RAPPER ALIVE OR DEAD. HE TALKED ABOUT LIFE AND REALITY, NOT HOW MANY CARS HE HAD OR HOW MUCH ICE, OR HIS GRILL! AND TO TOP IT ALL OFF HE WAS INTELLIGENT! STOP HATIN ON THAT MAN…BECAUSE WHOEVER YOU ARE YOU SUCK!

Good points. Pac was ill, so he shouldnt be on this list. Neither should Asher Roth, dude is nice(voice like Eminem, but listen to his lyrics). Wayne is ill (sometimes), but i agree he’s overrated.

Tupac, although not the greatest rapper, skill-wise, was more of an influential type becuase he made people think with his songs. He made more than a thousand hours of tape worth selling. I do agree that I’m getting tired of him coming out with an album after album. He’s dead, let him be.
You can add Notorious BIG as well.

Whoever u r who made this up u’s gotta be smoking sum crack and popping pills at tha same time!Tupac??????!!!!!!!!!!!WTF is Tupac even doing on that list? Tha realest truest rapper alive…he may be dead but tha fact that his songs will pass on to many generations will him alive forever.
Truly, i dont care bout any other people on that list, but i wonder how can someone even talk bulls**t bout someone who actually made it somewhere when all they accomplished is nothing but puking up nonsense like this on sum website for everyone to c so ya can get dissed like u desreve to.

I AGREE BECAUSE RAPPER THESE DAYS CANT EVEN FINISH A SENTENCE WITHOUT CALLIN A WOMAN A HOE, B%^&*, OR THE WANT HIT SOMETHING, THE NEED TO GO BACK TO KRS 1 NOW THAT THE GREATEST RAPPER OF ALL TIME

I agree. Tupac definitly does not belong on this list. But, I am glad to see that I am not the only one who finds Lil Wayne over rated.

I dont think pac should be on the list jim jones sicks a** soulja boy sucks fat joe said it his self he found puns rap book. Plies just go away. And last but not least Lil wayne go back to the cash money days he was wack everybody in cashmoney sounded the same.

if pac is up there put biggie up there

add 50 the game and biggie OVERRATED

I CANT UNDERSTAND HOW PAC MADE THE LIST AND JARULE DIDNT. ARE YOU GUYS SERIOUS, LOL

4 one thang pac does not need 2 b on that list. but lil wayne is doing his damn thang. keep it poppin lil homie.

I do agree with the whole soulja boy thing he was cool when he was doing underground but now his music has got out of hand It was all gravy till yall got to lil wayne though he is the best rapper alive, Feed him rappers or feed him beats

I think you missed it Big Time! when you added Pac to the list esspecially since he did not live. Given his body of work, the flow that he left and people have lived on ever since its likely that this whole scam of list while I do agree with the other entries, was designed to through dirt on Pac’s legacey. You should be ashamed or man or woman enough to really say what you want.

whoever made this s**t should be shot!!! how do ya’ll have the odasaty to put the greatest rapper ever in tupac shakur on this list bulls**t nuff said.

tupac r u serious who the f**k ever made this list and dare put pac name on here should be shot( kill yourself a.s.a.p)!!!!!!!!!

Who ever put Tupac on this list should ,,,SLAP YOURSELF… right now!!

wow tupac! who ever did this obviously doesnt know the difference between rappin, lyricism, and true HIP-HOP! Pac has caused more people to shed tears than any other rapper dead or alive! and the dude knew he wasnt the best metaphoric rapper! but he had more heart and passion than any other artist out there. who else has a colledge course specifically designed for them! please, name another hip-hop artist!!!!

WHo ever put 2PaC on tHe list need to get a rope and 6kill their self. Plies is wats CraCCin, So wat all His songs are 6out gettin p***y and love tHe ladies.

whomever made this list wanted attention and u got it. next time you make this list do it before u sniff your crack.
you’ve already had over 1,000 negative comments. if black planet sees this you may loose your job.
and for your info tupac’s records were breaking records while he was still alive.
keep your facts correct before you give your opinion, then maybe others will respect it.

Biggie smalls is the best rapper but dead

Now I give 2 u some of them rappers need 2 b on there but whoever put Pac on this list needs they ass whooped! Fa real!! U kno dam well if it wasn’t for Pac rap wouldn’t be what it is today.

De La Soul are the only rappers droppin some real knowledge thats why they dont get know airplay white people dont wanna hear nothing positive coming from black people they just wanna hear about black on black crimes and how big your house is and how much bling and money you got….

YEAH THEY JUST KEEP PUTTING PAC OR JAY Z ON THE LIST JUST TO GET ATTENTION…ITS REALLY GETTING OLD NOW, I WONT EVEN BOTHER TO LOOK AT YA WACK AZZ LIST ANYMORE SO PUT WHOEVER U WANT ON IT U BUM

THAT LIST IZ ABOUT RITE CAUSE I SWEAR ALL THOSE CATZ IZ GARBAGE!! SOULJA BOY BEEN TRASH SINCE DAY ONE BUT HE HAS THA YOUNG (12-18) GOING STUPID OVA DAT B.S.!! BUT TO EACH HIS OWN, CHURCH!!!

YALL ARE DEAD WRONG ABOUT PAC!!!!

Lol pac and wayne yall gotta be kiddin me

I cant belief you would put pac on this list.

LOL nice list i but the person who made it is like 12 lol and if thats the case then yes u nailed it!!

You guy’s r TRIPPINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN
2-Pac 4 LIFE!!! Get a clue, and edit your f**ked up page!!

i don’t care who they put on the list… as long as they don’t put NOTORIOUS B.I.G. on it. He was one of the best rappers ever!

yeah, you hit that s**t on the button, jim jones is garbage, bow wow is too, soulja boy is a one hit wonder and fat joe is garbage, he can say what he wants but jealous one “s envy was nothing more than a celebration of pun’s notebook,fat joe knows he could never pull that s**t again cause he did not do it the first time, he is a fraud.

yes yes yes yes yes i think all them are true but pac now pac made a movement with his music that was both positive and negative but i feel if one man can make a generation stop and listen he has to be doing his job but my 1 2 and 3 would be souja boy lil wayne plies in no given order they are 3 of the suckiest in the game flat out but they gimick is what makes them who they are
